Lincoln and the Moon
investigates how cultural symbols such as Abraham Lincoln and images of the moon correlate to universal associations such as idealism, brotherhood, and righteousness. This work explores the connection between faith and the unknown and uses planetary elements to examine religion and a cult-like fascination with history and myth.

River Baptism (With Mars Imagery)
examines the belief in the unseen and the beauty and alienation in standing in a body of water waiting for a miracle to occur. An Internet email informed me of one month in August in which the planet Mars would be as large as the Moon. The internet story was untrue and yet I began to dream about and hope for the fake phenomenon. This series examines factless faith and the correlation between this faith and a religious faith.

The Apollo Archive
is an examination of our relationship with past depiction of space exploration. The early 20th century ushered in the proliferation of the human voice, transcending the bounds of average human limits. Radio waves crossed the diameters of the earth with historical precedence. Decades later, we traveled beyond our planet and the earth was photographed for the first time by the NASA Voyager Probes, altering our perception of the immensity of the universe and the smallness of our world. Our understanding of space continues to be shaped by technology. This series highlights specific images from the Apollo Archive collection as outer space has become simultaneously more distance as the NASA program has concluded and closer than ever with the privatization of space.
