About
Employing photography, video, audio recording, text, installation, books and collage, my work straddles the intersection between documentary and fine art, with long-term non-linear narratives that address history, memory, identity and social constructs. Revealing the macro in the micro is the common thread. In my book AFTERWAR: Veterans from a World in Conflict, a century of war is represented by and through the individual body. In Dear Grinkers, a photographic series on diaspora, Six Days From Forty, an installation revolving around my brother’s life and his death from AIDS, and A Portrait of Audrey and All the Little Things, which considers my mother’s struggles with cancer and dementia in documentary and still life images, the micro is my own family — projects that originate from the personal, but speak to our commonalities and the ephemeral transcendence of everyday experience.
