500 WORDS
2015
I want to be the sun and the tiles, the skin and the weather, architecture, seeing, and cultural history.
MERCURY
2019
Comparison images for diets, acne medicine, and other cosmetic applications often will have the “before” shot in black and white and
the “after” in colour.
THE PLUMBER & THE COOK
2015
We arrive at the restaurant. It has an open kitchen centrally in the main space with a bunch of good looking, mostly male chefs and sous chefs in full attire acting out their well known ritual with just enough speed to convey a thrilling atmosphere of urgency.
MAISON DE REGRET
2018
More than merely being the stuff of civilization, the photographic image as well as money are the ultimate translators of everything that constitutes our world.
LETTUCE
2015

SWALLOW SWALLOW SPIT
2013
Sundays spent on mattresses, wrapped in blankets watching animal planet. Watching birds sitting on
the leathery surface of elephants. On the armour-like skin of rhinos.
BUONGIORNO SIGNOR COURBET
2015

was uncharacteristically quiet.
Sjæl Seele Soul
2025
My grandparents dressed as if they had stepped out of a sepia-toned gelatin silver print, their clothes all beige, grey, black, and brown. They taught at the local school, played the organ in church. Like early photography, they weren’t exactly lively.
Protein
2023
Like the queen ant, the DJ only lays eggs, she
does not rule; like worker ants, clubbers rely on tactile
communication to organize their activities and navi-
gate the environment around the queen. No individual
ant knows what’s going on.
