You can't talk about the place without talking about my feelings (2024).
You can't talk about the place without talking about my feelings is a collection of prose fiction and imagery marked by my experience of being let go from my job several months ago. Through the construction of characters and objects related to the body, I have attempted to reflect a life and particular events that have shaped that life.
A visual essay entitled Bystander (2019).
Bystander is a series of thirty-six 35mm analog photographs showing a fridge placed in various outdoor spaces in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The fridge has been purposely placed so that its context and circumstance are continuously altered by each new space it occupies. The fridge takes the starring role, chosen for its ubiquity within our domestic setting.
