Of Light & Flight
Of Light & Flight is a collection of work rooted in observation: of light as it moves across a surface, of birds and other fleeting subjects, and of the small changes that can make an ordinary moment suddenly demand attention.
Much of my work begins with looking closely. I am interested in the way light can define a form, obscure it, or transform something familiar; in movement that can only be observed for a moment; and in the challenge of translating those experiences into a still image.
The works in this exhibition move between natural and human-made subjects, but they share that same impulse to notice. Of Light & Flight is ultimately about paying attention… to what moves, what changes, and what might otherwise pass unnoticed.
