Full Circle
Baltimore, MD

November 10, 2018 – January 5, 2019  

This body of work was created during my color darkroom residency at Full Circle, a gallery and photography center in two combined old row houses in Baltimore. I used this period to build layered chromogenic photographs centered around gender, sexuality, family, and domesticity—utilizing color to reimagine these ideas and explore the space between fiction and reality.  

These images are made using a unique process, where I create images on black and white negatives and bring those negatives into a color darkroom, selecting each color individually and often adding multiple layers of exposure.  

*Tarp (Self Portrait)* is part of an ongoing effort to represent the temporality of being non-binary. The images become non-representational self-portraits focused on somatics and the articulation of self through the actions and poetics required of their body in the color darkroom.  

*Sweet Broth, A Cure For Those Windows*, an 80 x 128” silver gelatin photograph made up of multiple sheets of photographic paper, is a collapsed single 35mm image, furthering my interest in expanding and contrasting architecture as a means to explore complex notions of self, gender, and representation. This work is a meditation on traditional family structures and values. Pictured is a collapsed Parisian scene, with a woman staring back at the camera from an apartment window above.
