I’m honored to have work included in Memory Orchards, the newest publication from Candela Books. An exhibition featuring a selection of images from the project is on view in Candela’s beautiful gallery in Richmond, VA from Jan 19 – March 2, 2024.

Memory Orchards presents a broad survey of family experience, through highs and lows, lust and loss, creating a survey of work which reflects our understanding of ‘family’ in this moment. The work is derived from long term documentary projects to archive-based explorations, noting mundane interactions, moments of intimacy, family snapshots, and artful portraits. Some artists write of their desire to remember and document their own peculiar and beautiful realities. Others share their experience in hopes of adding to larger conversations about representation or identity. Taken as a whole, this engaging collection of work is complex and personal but deeply relatable.
