New work: Caldera Residency


These following photos are a product of a residency I had at Caldera. For the last two weeks of October, I was able to spend two weeks in eastern Oregon at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Alex Pearlstein, Kate Gilmore, and Stephen Slappe were the guest artists on the trip, and I was very lucky to get to work with them. The residency was in part a collaboration between the MFA program I am enrolled in at PNCA and Caldera.

I am currently investigating myth and fantasy through the realms of photography and performance. I am using the hero's journey as a lens to insert myself into mythic narratives with the intention to create stories that speak about play, process, and transformation. My goal is to subvert conventions of storytelling, such as plot, character, and setting, to invoke in the viewer feelings of wonder and confusion.
