Measured in breaths, in the quiet drip of chemistry, in the gradual emergence of image from shadow, working with analog photography and 16mm film, I create work that inhabits the space between the tangible and the ephemeral.
My practice begins with the materiality of traditional photographic processes, in the deliberate pace of hand-processing film. This foundation – the physical engagement with chemistry and light – extends into experiments with alternative processes, projection, and installation. In my work, analog and digital processes collide and commune, speaking to the way memory itself exists as both artifact and apparition.
Through photography, collage, poetry, and sculpture, I examine the quiet persistence of everyday objects and intimate spaces. I contemplate time's passage, the ways we hold onto and ultimately release the fragments of our lives. My work traces the contours of memory and loss, finding resonance in the spaces between preservation and decay.
I am currently completing my MFA at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I teach undergraduate darkroom photography and 2D design while developing my creative practice. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Film and Media Studies from Emory University with High Honors.
