My childhood was spent playing in open fields and witnessing countless storms and natural disasters, and has left me with a deep affection for the American landscape. This love of the land and sky, along with a fascination for the absurdities of life, has developed into a series of photographs of constructed landscapes. Cardboard, plaster, models and paint are used to create highly detailed dioramas for the camera. I try to maintain a sense of dark, but humorous, irony in the stories I tell by combining a sense of innocence with tragedy.

I live in Brooklyn, New York and build these dioramas in my living room. A scene takes anywhere from two months to two years to build and photograph.
