Exoskeleton of a Party
Digital photography series that understands parties as spaces of mobility and reinvention. Who you are here is enclosed within these four walls and is a space like no other; spontaneity simultaneously undoes and imposes structure within this social space. Photos taken to instill the presence of crowd where there was none, December 2024.
Interior Lives
A photographic exploration of everyday interiors, narrativizing all personal spaces that hold within them the essence of a life lived. Whether or not walls have ears, they do, in fact, have a plethora of shelves. This series reflects the sprawling history within domestic environments and has been curated as a visual meditation on memory and presence, December 2024.
Put Your Hands To Use in 2024
Unknown — Color, Cut and Blow — Never has someone made such a scene from my chair. “You’ve ruined my life!!” Etc. Etc. I have such raging l’esprit de l'escalier! Of course on a day with new clients all around. But returned her venom with firm grace and apology. Thought it wise not to unleash; “I can’t afford a whole new set of enemies.” She didn’t pay; I should have had her arrested. Cigarette?

Meme as Medium
A digital typographic series juxtaposing bold color fields and simple san-serif typography to suggest an interplay between the visual language and weight of internet memes. These works explore themes of longing, desire, and everyday absurdity, and aim to consider how memes function as contemporary storytelling tools that are, oftentimes, minimal. Designed and assembled digitally from January 2024 to December 2025.
Tracy M. — Color, Cut and Blow — The new salon is brilliant. Aqueous filtered light everywhere — otherworldly. Nicholas is a master. I am broke but worth it. He even remembered the quince blossoms. Long, noble Quince flanking every station. I’m in ecstasy.

Old Wiccan Charm For Blessing Your Station

Ella H. — Cut and Blow — So hungover. Hands shaking. A sweating queasy mess. And my face — I know It’s not advisable for a man to wear so much concealer, but what can be done? My eyes look like tires with a bit of red in the middle. Worried that the mask will collapse into a client’s lap. A lovely night with Julian though. No one is so attractive and so present. His lower back is a topography of dreams. Talked of going away.

Hannah J. — Cut and Blow — Berenson back. Transcendental refinement — paroxysms of admiration for that face. Can’t see any stitch marks and I think she’s getting younger (not me). I would almost cut her hair for free.

Kate U. — Cut and Blow — The thing about cutting a celebrity’s hair is this: it’s horrible. You have to be the oldest of friends and the most reserved of surgeons. Mostly though you have to act as if you really care (who’s the actress now?). It’s abhorrent but keeps the wolves from the door.
