summer 2020

A series from the summer. Black Lives Matter.

This nike box is about an ocean liner that lost 62,000 nike shoes in 1990. 21 containers were lost, only 5 of which broke open. I was thinking about my privilege, being on a ship, and how it's time for us all to start jumping into the water, into uncomfortable discussions about racial issues in America, with the hope that we will wash up anew. 

Ocean currents and "current" times ... the nike shoes actually proved to help scientists out, furthering ocean current research. 

I also worked on a farm for my aunt's mother. I was really nervous about it - I typically do portraits/things people's eyes can connect to - so I really wanted to achieve some kind of warm feeling/connection with a few buildings and a windmill.
