I treat the photograph as a site of revision, extending a feminist tradition that understands images as spaces of construction and intervention. My self‑portraits begin as single exposures and then move through processes of cutting, layering, projecting, and re‑photographing, mirroring the distortions of memory. Duration is one of my primary materials: I want the work to slow time, to stretch the moment of looking so that the photograph is experienced as an ongoing process rather than a fixed event. I figure the body not as a static image but as something future‑building, moving across spaces, screens, and surfaces accumulating fragments of spatial desire and refusing capture.
My films and photographs have shown at various galleries and museums including SFMOMA, the Wexner Center for the Arts, NADA Curated, Harvard University, the University of New England, the University of New Hampshire, Antioch College, and A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, New York, where I’m a member.
