Photo series exploring the disparity between what we experience and the idea that a photograph is a precise record.
land / shaped / scape +
A collection of failed film exposures that took shape after a residency in a high altitude desert in Oregon. When I returned I saw the endless PLAYA mountainscapes in everything. These polaroids capture the experience of an environment shaping what we notice, as opposed to a camera framing, and thereby shaping, a landscape.

Witnessing the ability of air and water to dramatically change the shape of an environment, pigment and ice were placed on expired film to capture elemental forces at a minute scale.
perpetual solstice +
focusing expired film directly on the los angeles sun, to capture its acute and meltingly relentless intensity. every hour is high noon solstice hour.
