The images from Rants and Rituals were made with a very large self made pinhole camera. The transformative power of this camera lends an element of surprise and unpredictability in the image making process that is seductive to me. It also allows for less description and more suggestion. Conventional photography’s descriptive powers have often been an obstacle that I have had to find ways to work around.

These images portray both personal psychological states and symbolic rituals, the meanings of which remain a mystery to me. Rants and Rituals continues the darkly surrealistic sensibility of my previous project, Remnants of Identity.
