BEACHLAND

Artist Statement

Beachland is a space that I escaped into when I had a bit of a dark episode in my life. At the time I failed to see beauty and colour in real life, but I still found it in my photographs.  In essence, I tried to capture the feeling of the ocean, but it was much later that realized that I was finding safe places to escape to, even though it was only in my mind.  Beachland is also part of a larger body of work about spaces that look very different in photographs than they do in real life.
