Historical Processes

My photographic practice explores the intersections of memory, history, materiality, and place. I am drawn to historic processes such as salted paper printing, cyanotype, and wet plate collodion because their deliberate pace encourages a more contemplative approach to image-making. I embrace the interplay of light, chemistry, and time, as well as the imperfections and unpredictability that make each print unique.

My work often incorporates family heirlooms and objects that carry personal histories, allowing me to explore how memory is preserved and transformed through photography. I am also drawn to historic and abandoned architecture and the stories embedded within these spaces. Through both subject and process, I consider photography as a way of slowing down, looking closely, and uncovering connections between the past and present.
