I'm a photographer and mixed-media artist based in southern Maine. My work starts from a single observation: nothing lasts, and that's not a problem to solve.
Most of what I make begins in stillness — long exposures under the night sky, printing on plexiglass that dissolves into its surroundings, anthotype images that fade the moment you look at them. The materials do the theological work so I don't have to explain it. I'm interested in what photography can hold that other art forms can't: the actual passage of time, the trace of a body, the record of a moment already gone.
I grew up in New York City. I live in Maine now, and that shift matters to the work — the light here is different, the pace is different, the relationship to impermanence is different when you're watching the tides and the seasons rather than the skyline.
I'm finishing an MFA in Photography at Maine Media College in Rockport. I teach Mindful Photography at Colby College. My documentary film Mother Daughter received the Audience Award at the Cannes Short Film Festival.
I've been thinking lately about what this work looks like at public scale — installed where the light actually changes, where people pass through without having bought a ticket. The temporary nature of that kind of installation isn't a constraint. It's the whole argument.
The question underneath all of it: if love is real, what am I afraid of?
