I use an 8x10 view camera as a tool for "slow looking," documenting a specific experience of space and time through a conceptual lens. My work is grounded in the understanding that these two dimensions are inseparable, and my photographs serve as physical representations of that interconnectedness. By capturing both the expansive scale of the American landscape and precise locative details—often marked by specific GPS coordinates—I seek to distill the experiential essence of a place. These images function as archival portraits that delve into the emotional and psychological layers of our environment.

History is the vital pulse of my practice, leading me on photographic pilgrimages to sites that are receding from the present yet remain deeply embedded in our collective narrative, from the line of the 40th parallel to the surviving Washington Elms. To bridge these worlds, I use a hybrid workflow that joins the traditional materiality of large-format film with digital printing, high-resolution video, and sound. This process creates a representation of place that is both ethereal and tangible, offering a space to get lost in the landscape while experiencing a direct, lasting connection to the earth and the histories written upon it.

With that being said…

We acknowledge that the land on which we live and make art across Cambridge, Boston, and Amherst, Massachusetts, is the unceded ancestral territory of Indigenous nations who have stewarded these landscapes for millennia. In the eastern coastal regions of Boston and Cambridge, we reside on the traditional homelands of the Massachusett Tribe, from whom the Commonwealth takes its name, as well as the neighboring Pawtucket, Nipmuc, and Wampanoag peoples. This includes the sacred waters of the Quinobequin, now known as the Charles River. Further west in Amherst, we recognize the homelands of the Pocumtuc Nation and the Norrwutuck community, who maintained deep relationships with the Kwinitekw, the Connecticut River.

We pay our respects to their elders, past and present, and recognize that these tribal nations are not just historical figures, but vibrant, living communities shaping our contemporary world. We acknowledge the painful histories of forced removal, dispossession, and ongoing colonization that allowed these cities and institutions to be built. In making this statement, we commit to moving beyond empty gestures by listening to, learning from, and actively supporting Indigenous peoples and their continued sovereignty over these lands and waters.
