I feel that so much of the information that we are confronted with has been compromised in some way, and as a result, there is a kind of baseline cynicism that many of us operate from. In photography particularly, I am left wondering about whether the images I receive have been manipulated in some way to either obscure or reveal a particular story. I wanted to make images that push back at this – that seem to have been manipulated, but are not –so perhaps we become more conscious as viewers about this state of persistent uncertainty. The nature of seeing and perception are the central issues in my work. I am much more interested in the condition of not knowing than in knowing. I feel like confusion and awe are different aspects of the same condition – and that is fascinating to me.
