Statement:

I am currently working with photography, painting, and installation to investigate and capture the dynamics of light and materiality. I have found that by using the photographic process as a foundation to build upon I can extend beyond the limitations of it as a medium that traditionally represents and records reality into a tool to communicate abstract thought.Andrew Beck
