Blue Ridge

This ongoing photo series explores my childhood home located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains where my mother currently lives. I investigate her life and my memories using the countryside and animals that surround her. The objects you see are tributes to our past and mementos of a shared family history. I have also begun to sew organic matter like leaves and oranges in order to explore reinvention and the effects of constraint.

Purposefully claustrophobic yet piercingly beautiful, these photographs speak to remaining still in a world that is constantly moving.

Like Home

Like Home is a photo book based off the poem “Home” by Riley Cohen. It explores themes of semi-permanence through hotels and motels in Williamsburg, Virginia. Flip through the book below.
