ARTIST STATEMENT:

My art delves into the fourth dimension, Time, an integral element shaping my work. Unlike conventional photography that captures three dimensions, I strive for deeper insight by exploring time's impact on my subjects. My primary focus lies in depicting clouds, celebrating the unique aesthetic of the Upper Midwest. I showcase either their whimsical swirls or ominous textures, imbuing my pieces with a painterly essence. Through a meticulous process involving capturing 100 exposures across several minutes and layering them into a cohesive image, I unveil a landscape's true essence over time. This approach transcends human sight's limitations, unlike traditional photography's fleeting snapshots. Why confine our visual experience to fleeting moments? My cloud portraits offer honesty and precision, aiming to reshape our perception of reality, which influences our attitudes, our understanding of who we are and how we fit into the cosmos.
