Work | The Kept Light

Seven ongoing series. Each one asks a different question of the same geography: who is present, who is seen, and what the light reveals about the difference. Urban Pigments is the methodology at the center. The other series are what happens when you follow that question into the night, into history, into the spaces the city did not design for the people inside them.

Urban Pigment

The foundational methodology. Photographs paired with historical pigment names and hand-painted acrylic swatches, reading cities as chromatic documents, marking the colors of the people who move through them.

Ongoing

The Kept Light

Documenting the light that falls on people who are present but not centered, visible but not seen. The light that exists whether or not anyone names it.

Ongoing

The Moveable Witness

Sitting in the places between institutions where different worlds meet, cafes, markets, street corners, and photographing what is actually there rather than what was expected.

Ongoing

Night Study

Long exposures. The city after the performance ends, the people who remain, the light that stays.

Ongoing

Light Studies

Observational. How light behaves in spaces not designed to hold it, and what that reveals about who was considered when the space was made.

Ongoing

Dial 1 for Nostalgia

The material residue of collective memory. What objects hold when people cannot, and what it means when those objects are the only record.

Ongoing
