    Statement

      PATHWAYS

    I feel that seemingly disparate places act on our consciousness, and can challenge but also reconcile the past with the future.

    These images document places, paths, roads and lines that connect us metaphorically, psychologically and historically and have a discourse with the ethics and morals of choice.

    'I have always preferred the reflection of life to life itself' (Francois Truffant) French Film Director
