i work from the journal as a point of departure
i make books and ‘zines as an archive / catalog of my images and writing
i am curious how the mind edits files stores images / memories
i am interested in ‘place’ as it creates a foundation for our reality
i am interested in the exchange/mutation/synthesis of reality and memory
i am interested in generational memory, not only passed through stories, but other, less definable modes. Perhaps through a place, a landscape, location, image, sound, smell
i am interested in process over product
