The Persistence of Family

The images in this series are composites of my family photographs, photographs I took of my children, and New England landscapes. Generations reach for each other across time. Driven by a longing for connection, the images make real those things I hold dear. Though rooted in personal narratives, they address universal experience, interrogating the way in which family relationships and history play a role in shaping our sense of ourselves and understanding of our place in the world. They suggest that the present, in each of us, contains both the past and the future. Ultimately, this series portrays the layered process of becoming, and the complex interweaving of time, place, and identity.
