The universe of my photographs is a small and intimate one, composed of ordinary natural specimens, such as leaves, sticks, pods, shells, flowers, nests, birds and insects. Looking closely through constantly shifting layers of time, memory and imagination, I hope to brush upon the mystery of the intangible life force that once existed in these objects. I am astonished each day by the transient and ephemeral nature of life, by its tenacity and endurance, by the inevitability of loss and death, and by the transcendence of beauty.
