some (oldish but still relevant) words about the site and my art:

This site is a selection of primarily photographic projects. My most recent work is located in the upper left hand square. More information is provided within each of the sections, but here is a short overview of what lies within.

My work has often investigated formations of space by utilizing post capture methods which question the traditional photographic rectilinear frame. Presently I’ve chosen to address the frame during capture as a way to homogenize space, focusing on contrary physical and intellectual relationships between architectural forms.

One of my current projects investigates a fascination with rooftop structures growing on the The Lower East Side of Manhattan. This neighborhood has eternally epitomized the “downscale occupant”, yet presently is temporally shifting physically towards an aerial suburbia. No urban renewal plan, no architectural vision ever dreamt could have predicted it’s current incarnation. By definition, the neighborhood has embodied mutation, but newborn growths on rooftops of 19th century buildings are quite simply ridiculous manifestations within its evolution. By continuously discovering these new structures, my work reveals juxtapositions rapidly disappearing behind the LES’s latest trend towards a more boundless verticality. Through researching both current construction and historical writings on the neighborhood, my basis for the project is excitedly expanding and shifting. I’ve watched the LES’s metamorphosis for 15 years; I feel like I’m capturing its awkward teen years before it lapses into domesticated adulthood.


My former work primarily focuses on interiors. By exposing commonalities between intimate relationships to space and place and the experience of others within the same circumstances, I document the condition of familiarity and transience. I have always worked in one way or another with multiple images to “build” spaces, offering a sort of cultural geography. Much of the work addresses the mobility inherent in urbanity and focuses on the objects people have chosen to keep with/around themselves. It delivers a cognizance to modern living.
