No Place Like Home
It’s as if what I tried to bury wrought a projection of a story that can’t be told straight. The all too common one of innocence taken by a grownup yet people never want to believe the child.
Moving away from my childhood home was a self-estrangement that brought me into a dappled world of light and shade where I could see things more clearly in black and white.
Photographing houses and stranger's personal items in different locations traveling through America over the years, I wondered about the folks who were the original owners and the ones that still live there. Even if you grew up in a house with lots of people, the idea of what’s home remains personal.
Abandoned, happy, or sad, there’s no place like home.640,960Price On Request -
