Work statement:
Following five years of photographing the landscape and those who travel through it, the series Folded In Place finds its exploration of place though a visualization of the map as the final destination. These images turn the abstract representation of the map back into a physical landscape, by looking at the map as a geography of its own.

Bio
I was born in the East, raised in the Midwest, and schooled in the West. Upon graduation from the University of New Mexico with an MFA in Photography in 2002, I headed back east to start the cycle all over again. I now live in Tallahassee, Florida, where I make images and teach at Florida State University. My work has also traveled, and has been exhibited nationally.
