Check out this conversation about my photographic practice. It explores community and belonging, the power dynamics of abstraction, and breaking down the forms of self and other. The interview was written for MN Artist, a program of the Walker Art Center, as part of the 2021-22 MCAD-Jerome Fellowship.
