In 2021 I was printing a lot on large formats of paper. To prepare the day before I would make these photoshop sketches that I would then attempt to make completely analog. This usually meant a process with many steps. The problem solving that it required to make an image really kept me going in there week after week.
I think my great grandfather on my dad's side took these pictures during the first world war. From him, my family has a pretty extensive photo album of early 20th century photography in Europe and in Japan. On my mom's side my great grandfather was also a photographer who also left us some beautiful and delicate handmade albums.
I've collected t-shirts for the last 6 years or so. It started with a gift from Francesca for my birthday - the pizazz (piza 33?) shirt. From there I sought out t-shirts at thrift stores and online that had ambigious slogans or words. I like making up my own stories about them. They are all pretty heavily worn with stains or holes. Some of the ones pictures I've sold or gotten rid of.
