FIELD IMAGES AND STUDIO WORK

Animal Night

I set up infrared cameras along animal trails. They record the animals’ movements at night. These photographs form the starting point for work that I later develop in the studio.

A Secret Life of Animals

Working from the black and white photographs, I make transfers in the studio, then add paint. I photograph the resulting work to produce the final digital image.
