My artistic practice focuses primarily on black and white film photography. I am based in Los Angeles, California, a location that heavily informs my work for this exhibition. After the devastating wildfires in January 2025, I see parallels between recent events in Los Angeles and my experimentation with alternative photographic processes. I work with cameraless photographic methods, such as watergrams, as a means of exploration in my established medium.

Like wildfires, watergrams are unpredictable. Watergrams involve a process dictated by movement and light exposure, without the guarantee of a traditional negative-based image. Just as you can never step in the same river twice, you can never create the same print twice. Water itself is malleable and multi-dimensional. The effects of water can be restorative or damaging. In the case of the Los Angeles wildfires, which we recently experienced, water can also be tragically absent.
