What I've always liked about photography is that it's such a direct way of showing what's on my mind. I see something. I show it to you.

Progress is always an exchange. We gain something, we give something else up. I'm interested in looking at some of what we are losing.

Something about photography is tied to a very specific relationship with the material world. It doesn't have to be, but the way I practice it, it is. So there's an act of observation, but it's not an act of objective recording. It's about framing something and seeing it and understanding that it's relational.

I'm in all of my work, and there's nowhere to hide when you make work.

I never heard the term "art world" until I was in my thirties, and I was like, "What are you guys talking about?" It's the world, and we all live in the world!

There's a desire for me in the work, even when I'm looking at the past, to be looking from the present. It's to be here now. It's looking in the present tense.
