Artist Statement
My photographs often explore the connection of the past to the present
and the relationship of people to their environment.
Personal identity and cultural history are often attached to a sense
of place, and this can have a strong influence over the texture and
stories of our life.
THE FARM series was photographed in Kansas over the past decade, on
the farm of my husband's grandparents. The land has been in the
family for many generations and much of his family's roots,
identity, and stories are tied to this particular plot of earth.
It's about the things that tie us together, and the things
that bring
us back.
