The theme in 2025-2026 is "frequencies," relevant to her work on monasticism.

Ferrania Orto 50 black and white is an amazing film, and the Canon 35mm L lens is crazy sharp.

I have an undergraduate student researching the 1985 New York City Vietnam Veterans’ parade. The student would like to find Vietnam vets willing to be interviewed about the event. If that describes you, please message me here.

Just completed a body of work titled ‘The Memories We Keep’ about letting go of the house we’ve called home for over 20 years - always comes with a mix of despondent satisfaction:)
