Phaenomena
Naturalis is a series of photographs through which I attempt to navigate
and understand the natural world; it is an attempt at understanding some
of life's universal and enduring questions. Light and shadow function
on a symbolic level—the revelation of truth. Books and their time-worn
pages, bits of text and images, and found objects all serve as a vehicle
to suggest a figurative voyage, that the mysteries of the world can be
unlocked and revealed.
I am interested in an exploration of the world through referencing legend, through the intersection between science and magic and where superstition meets history. As such, an intimation of the arcane, the mythological and the mysterious informs these photographs.
