HOLDING ON, LETTING GO
"The core of what keeps us human in the best sense is learned early in life and is exemplified strongly in this work." ~Bruce Brown, Curator, Collector

A collection of images that focus on the formative relationships that imprint and shape our consciousness. The children in my photographs are held, led, and supported by people whose supporting roles are in a perpetual state of change. The negative image (the past) in combination with the positive image (the present) mirrors the conundrum: Relationships are here, and then they are gone; every single moment is experienced, and then it transmutes in a flash into a memory.
The process of creating images doesn’t necessarily help me to demystify the world around me, but it allows me to live more fully inside of the questions that I find to be most compelling: How can we live with ease, as our relationships perpetually move and change? And how can we fully experience the present when we are so formed (and often consumed) by our histories?
Holding On, Letting Go is featured HERE in the book Illuminating the Negative : Fifteen Years of Photographs.
