"I am greatly influenced by the increasing density of the new neighborhoods and housing developments that make up my surroundings. The combination of living in increasingly smaller spaces and in closer proximity to others creates tension that I am interested in exploring through exaggerating the architecture common to the buildings and structures that make up these residential environments.
The environments depicted in my photographs are close to the actual but are not completely accurate or exact copies of reality. The discrepancies between reality and construct vary from subtle shifts in architecture to obvious voids that serve no apparentfunction. I construct the situations I photograph as a way to challenge my understandingof the buildings and neighborhoods I am referencing and I am interested in callingattention to the function of the constructed model in relation to what the depicted subject matter is proposing."
