A collection of ideas, experiments, and unfinished questions.








To Depart A Room Still Speaking  – Short Film & Photo


Current realizationThe film only works if nothing feels performed.


QuestionHow long does it take before we stop seeing a symbol and begin seeing a person?

Unfinished Thoughts

– Ozu’s pillow shots and the importance of nothing happening

– Maybe style is accumulated attention.

– Stay long enough that the symbol becomes a person.

– Maybe editing is another form of writing.

– Still trying to understand this.










I Watched, And Then It Was Over  – Photo book


Current realizationThe more I edit, the less this feels like a book about football and the more it feels like a book about being human.


Question What does it mean when billions of people look in the same direction?


Current StateFirst draft of sequencing underway.
Thinking of ways to get it out into the world as far as possible

Notes To Self

–  Commercials stay. At first they felt like interruptions.

Now they function as timestamps—reminding us not only what happened during the World Cup, but what else the world was watching.








    



Something I Cannot Yet See  – Short Film & Photo


Current realizationI’m beginning to think the film isn’t about movement at all. 
It’s about faith. The belief that repetition can become transformation.


Question
Can routine become hope?

In Conversation With

A few of the artists and ideas this project keeps returning to.



– Luis Barragan: Light can become architecture.

– Roy Decarava: Dignity doesnt need spectacle.

– Duval Timothy: Leave enough silence for the image to breathe.

– Jeanne Dielman: Meaning accumulates before it announces itself.




In Good Company
A place to encounter the work while it is still becoming; in my backyard.

Current realizationI keep returning to the same things.

Family photographs. Football. Books. Hands. Archives. Empty spaces. Repetition. Things inherited. Things disappearing.

I used to think of these as separate interests. I’m beginning to wonder if they are all evidence of the same questions.

Question
What do I keep returning to—and what is it trying to tell me?

Current State
Building the first gathering around this question. Bringing together finished photographs, unfinished work, references, books, objects, notes, and images I’ve collected without always knowing why.

Aug 9 –  The first gathering found its question: looking for the patterns hiding in plain sight.





I keep returning to the ordinary moments that quietly shape who we become.
