Sequence

This set of images were inspired by the work of David Hillard, and comic books. I think it's ironic that although I began practicing photography in a different city, I still feel relate more to the photographers from my city, Boston. I have been trying out different approaches to making work recently and started to make these triptychs. I feel like I am beginning to change my work and approach to art making drastically, and it's starting to feel exciting to me again.

Northern Gothic

I started my grad school applications at the beginning of December which left me with little time to make updates. I would like to say that my time was well spent slaving over my apps, but in reality I probably spent more time procrastinating and agonizing over my feelings of inadequacy than any actual work. However, I did manage to find some time to shoot. For the moment, I am dubbing this work "Northern Gothic", because it creeps me out whenever I look at it. I was "working on apps" one afternoon and I noticed the way the light was coming in through the window and promptly decided it would be the perfect time to play around for a little bit. I had to remind myself what it feels like to make something without expecting an outcome, to do for the sake of doing. When I looked down at the back of my camera I was reminded why I love photography. Because the world can be a magical place, if you let it be.

Fun x Awesome

I find that a lot of art that I see is very serious, and deals with serious issues. However, every once in a while I find it just as important to have a little fun and not take yourself too seriously. These images were taken during a period where I was sick with the flue and needed some cheering up. A smile creeps across my face when I look at them, as they make me reminisce about the imagined adventures I had in my childhood.
