Statement My work draws strongly on the landscape, focusing on my home, family and myself in conversation with the natural world. I am often attracted to the objects and artifacts that we surround ourselves with, as memory-memory-laden emblems of our history and signifiers of the passing of time; how a sense of place can be embedded with personal Read More »
Miss Americana
Statement This body of work has been made over the last twenty years and more and shows no signs of being even near finished.

Rhonda Lashley Lopez: Liable to Disappear and Requiem for Small Creatures Artist Books
The Artist on Artist Books It’s satisfying and intimate to hold something handmade and precious in your hands and look at the photographs within, one by one. It’s a solitary activity, and slow.

Lee Kilpatrick: Together
Statement I am fascinated by group gatherings, such as holidays, or outings with family or a regular group of friends. Repeated over time, the group activity becomes more familiar, ritualized and expected, and fosters levels of interaction, which are increasingly informal. Even if some within the group are less than enthusiastic about individual interactions, the Read More »
Elliot Schildkrout: Homage to the Forest
Artist Statement: Over the years, the woods, a lifelong cherished place for me, have deepened as a source of spiritual nourishment. As the forest turns with the seasons, I too, see the woods in a larger spiral that links together life, death, and our fragile dependence on the other. We breathe each other’s breath, and we share each Read More »
The Rug’s Topography
Statement “The Rug’s Topography” began with me photographing my intimate partner of six years. Simultaneously, we were facing an internal conflict: how we identified as individuals differed from the roles we occupied in our partnership. As we began to grow apart romantically, our anxieties rose in response to the distance widening between us. Our individual identities within a Read More »
Paul Szynol: Solitude of Travel
Statement “Solitude of Travel” documents a period of persistent travel: in the space of a decade, I passed through some 60 countries on 4 continents, often repeatedly and for prolonged periods of time. I traveled without any overarching reason or direction, but I think even then I suspected that the pressing impulse to board yet Read More »
