My photographic work examines how form shaped by time, environment, and human presence acquires meaning through attention and framing. Working across contemporary processes and nineteenth-century wet plate collodion, I photograph landscapes, trees, animals, people, and objects in the American West, where significance emerges through erosion, intervention, and cultural memory. These images move between documentation and construction, where what is found and what is shaped begin to overlap, and where the act of looking becomes a form of authorship.
