Personal Statement
My Design Trust fellowship allowed me to examine the specific issue
of security and public design as well
as larger questions about the relationship
of photography and research. I had the
pleasure of working closely with another
fellow, Elizabeth Kennedy, to better
understand and develop the relevancy of my photographs
to her concurrent research about security.
At the same time, my photography was
allowed to stand as an open process without
any obligation to illustrate a point
or position. My project took me to every corner of the five boroughs
and helped me cultivate methods of working that I still rely on
today in my ongoing documentation of public space in New York City.
