On Top

The images exhibited in the show serve as in invitation to a larger body of work I have produced attempting to understand my sense of position and place, and that of the men around me, especially with regards to identity. The images have been produced in numerous countries internationally, and are often born from long periods spent with individuals. It is my hope that, aligned with writing, the body of work can form a sense of precarity, waiting and seeing.
