driving at night (2024)

Photography & text printed on fabric, hand sewn
4 x 7 inches

Driving at night is an interactive piece; it’s a book holds poetry and imagery printed into fabric. Viewers engage with a familiar material with a thousand associations, held in their own hands, and are in complete control of the pace at which they flip the pages. In this way, I hope to provide a space of reflection, and that as they read and observe, people can think of themselves.

I work in an intensively iterative process, and from a slowly built up archive of photography and writing, I string together words and images. I like this process of organizing a thousand things into a few succinct and crafted thoughts. While my work is heavily based on myself, my feelings, experiences, vulnerabilities, I strive to create a space of reflection in which viewers can consider themselves. Ideally, the work isn’t about me at all, it’s about whoever is engaging with it.
