What is history?

My research and work focus on the vernacular and the less considered, historically significant, images, objects, and stories. I aim to push up against singular definitions of reality by unpacking the personal alongside the public and the shared. I explore these themes through photography, video, performance, and mixed media/text. I often oscillate between taking images, found images, and repurposing images.
