BIO

STATEMENT FROM THE ARTIST: Contained Space was born out of a love of the outdoors and photography. Our lands and open spaces have become contained to support our ever sprawling demands and needs on the land. Photography itself is contained to four walls that allow the photographer and viewer to peer into other contained areas. As we continue to encroach on our lands, these images become documents of the human-to-nature experience and what we take away from it.
