I have always spent my time looking closely at spaces. Since I was a child I have snuck into places I should not be and made up stories about who had lived there. The stories could be seen in the weathered wood, dusty books, and ceramic angles. They were based on the environments, and stories heard from the next room. I learned about my grandmother, my father, and my neighbors by studying their spaces. Now I use photography to collect visual evidence of the past within interiors and exteriors found in the Texas landscape to better understand these spaces and those who inhabit them. After I photograph a location, some of the images stop there and others become paintings to focus on texture, or films to emphasize time or digital environments to create immersion. No matter the result, it always begins with photography.
