Of his work, he writes:
My work is based on the spiritual residue and shared memories that are left behind by the built symbols of our presence on earth. Telephone poles, railroad tracks, stairways and buildings are shared across generations. I am interested in what is remembered and forgotten as these symbols occupy the spaces we create and the spaces in between that we have created unintentionally. Thousands of people walk by and through these spaces, each an individual with their own experience. In the same room where an old couple repeats words of love, once a young man passed away. These shared spaces and experiences are the focus of my work.
