Project Statement:
For almost twenty years, I have documented the attributes that define inhabited space. In the spirit of an archaeological or forensic study, I photograph the accumulated evidence of life in people’s homes. There are no human figures in the photographs; instead I depict the objects that people keep and the marks that they make on the architectural features that structure their domestic lives. Most recently, I have begun to play with domestic space. The photographs begin with something actual, found in the home. I combine the actual scene with something from memory or imagination to create a new space or situation.
