SEWN PROJECTS: composite photography, diary images, dye, thread, felt, crochet, textiles, and plenty of dark humor.

For over a decade, I have altered, chopped, merged, and recomposed my photographs.
By doing this, I create work that deals with the notions of truth in photography and its impact on identity.
I use my family images and those from my family’s past albums as material for the work.
The resulting imagery tells a “new truth” with reimagined memories, situations, and experiences.

Using my composited imagery from my family archive and my daily photographic diary.
I cut out, obliterate, and cover up elements of an image to draw attention to what is missing, what may have changed
