About the Work

Title: Black Mountain

Brief Statement:

What is family? How is formed? How does it function? What behaviors, attitudes and actions make a “mother” or a “father?” In a world inundated with personal photographs, how do images of other families shape our ideas about what our own family should look, act and feel like?

My work has grown from a continued interest in the dynamics of relationships, specifically those formed within a shared domestic space. For the project “Black Mountain,” I photographed my family after the arrival of my daughter in Black Mountain, North Carolina.
