“cherry” weaves a simple narrative of affection through text and photographic elements. The work consists of figures studies, self-portraiture, and still life images that have evolved through a variety of analog and digital methods since 2017. “cherry” arrived at its final form, bound as a hardback book, in 2021, directly referencing the realm of personal diary, and pushing the art of photography outside of its typical form and into a textual, sculptural state.
