This body of work consists of two distinct series, “Shades and Shadows” and “Skylight Views”.

These images were taken in my home, an intimate and familiar place to me. They take on temporal qualities of a slow, quiet nature as I observe their constantly shifting features.

In Shades and Shadows I have recorded the light and shadows cast on a window shade. Ever changing in their appearance, yet remaining constant in their physicality; light, and time transforming the viewer’s experience. Each photograph is a suspended moment, continuous and fleeting.
