Early Work
A view of three walls in a gallery. Stretching across all three walls is a series of photographs, hung in clusters at varying heights and distances from one another, with printed text components arranged alongside the images. A long line of small cyanotype prints connects the “clusters” of images. On the far left wall is a larger color photograph of a college graduation. Installed on the floor in the middle of the room is a sculpture of a yoga mat printed with negative images of a person; atop this yoga mat is the outline of a person’s body made in steel, doing a push up on the yoga mat.
