Biography

RAW is a series that began with portrait-style photographs of foodstuffs encountered both at home and while traveling.
As the land changes, so do the creatures.
I observed them, photographed them, and titled each piece after the actual dishes I ate.
This is neither a wholly imaginary world nor a straightforward record.
My work is an extension of my observation of reality.
