Wide Open Spaces (2020) seeks to capture something temporary and fleeting. These images exist at the intersection of my work with street photography and my work with still lifes. They are the result of working in a set space, as one would work with still lifes, but waiting for that decisive moment that is so crucial in street photography.

During the first quarantine of 2020, I became invested in how close-up images of bed sheets, couches, and flooring can capture the fleeting effects of light to suggest something other than everyday furniture: a rushing water stream, a canyon, an aerial view of a landscape. This collection of photographs was created during a period of isolation and confinement but I’ve tried to evoke just the opposite: a sense of nature and the outdoors. I hope these images occupy a space in mind and in memory, that is at once universal and deeply personal.
