I primarily work with a toy camera, film, and darkroom to make landscape images. In 2006, I worked as an intern in the Metals Conservation Laboratory at the National Museum of Cambodia. The Metals Conservation Laboratory is a project sponsored in part by The Arthur M. Sackler and Freer Gallery of Art and afforded me the professional opportunity to work with South East Asian archaeological and museum artifacts on site as well as explore new landscapes for my artwork.
