Adopted from my first solo retrospective curated by Thomas Everett Green in Seattle, this body of work traces my roots in photography. Since 2008, I have worked fluidly between analog and digital imaging, developing a constellation of moments shaped by experimentation, transition and shared creative energy across many disciplines. This diverse artistic practice has resulted in an archive spanning multiple intimate image sets and short series.

Largely created at Memphis College of Art, the school’s 2020 closure marked the dissolution of an institution and an ecosystem that continues to inform my practice. The hivemind created by illustrators, abstract painters, jewelers, and filmmakers expanded my understanding of art. I learned creating as an act of exchange, one that blurs boundaries between media, memory, place and states of existence.

Here I reflect on origin and endurance while carrying creative lineage. Echoing the community we lost as the spaces that shaped us fade into history.
