10X

Multi-layered abstract photographs produced in-camera, not with Photoshop or on a computer. They are the result of 10 multiple exposures made on the same frame inside the camera. They were crafted on-site and once they were shot, there was no fixing or changing them. I got to the point where it was a little dance movement to get a variety of viewpoints in each frame.

Erasure

These images are sourced from my mother's photographic negatives from the 70s. The photos don't record a specific time period. They are not history. They are references to her specific experiences. Her history is not our shared history. These processed images explore that through surface treatments and other physical processes. They are visceral artifacts now, instead of ephemeral.

Geist

Germany has a difficult history and has gone to great lengths to incorporate its past into the present. The Zitadelle is a museum in West Berlin that houses a unique exhibit for this purpose. Throughout the region monuments to problematic past leaders were built from 1849 to 1986. Many of the men they memorialize had terrible legacies. This includes religious leaders, Prussian military leaders, businessmen, and mythical representations of men in power at the time.. As a historical intervention of these dogmatic sculptures, I photographed the faces and re-contextualized their appearances. In the past decade social media has resurrected some of the worst ideologies in history. They were dying out until anonymous politics became a thing and rekindled their popularity. My idea is to use these statues to build illustrations of these old dying ideas that are empowered by online culture.

Polaroids

These B&W polaroids come from a special visit to the Internationales Congress Centrum Berlin. It is a defunct conference center that was once the pinnacle of European modernism. It is still in pristine condition though, and photographers are allowed to visit on special days every few years. I took these with a Polaroid SX-70 from the late 70s.

Slitscan

I saw a demonstration of a slitscan camera by Ralph Nivens at the 2024 Experimental Photography Festival in Barcelona. I was captivated by the process and arranged for Ralph to build me a custom camera. I used it extensively in Winter 2025 and exhibited the results in Berlin.

Grounded

These monochromatic images are sourced from power wires for the local light rail (VTA) sub-station. I drove by this cluster everyday on a tech job commute for about a year. I swore that when the contract was over I was going to return and photograph all the patterns I saw overhead. I did just that and exhibited the images multiple times and used them in other art projects.
