Included below is the artist statement that goes along with this body of work which is titled “Icelandic Elements.

“I were to write a memoir of my life, the byline might read, “A Mix of Melancholy and Apathy.” Not because I don’t have a great life—I certainly do. But those are two predominant themes of my inner life. Photography is a medium that allows me to seek and feel something more in the world. To create beauty from the mundane, to turn indifference into passion, apathy into empathy.

My work focuses on long-term landscape projects that allow me to create connections to a place over time. This submission of photographs highlights work made between July 2021 and April 2023 as part of a broader project documenting landscapes of the North Atlantic Ocean. During this time, I focused primarily on making images in Iceland, drawn to the area in part by its recent volcanic activity. Iceland’s stark and beautiful landscapes lend themselves to feeling lonely and isolated when you are among them. Through this selection of images, I hope to demonstrate that even in harsh surroundings, a connection can be made with the landscape through familiar patterns, shapes, or moments of wonder, imbuing the final images with connectedness and comfort despite the isolated nature of the environment.”
