PHOTOGRAPHY
ACROSS THE WATER
Across the water is an ongoing documentation began with my daughter as a way of involving her and her immigration story into my work. Beginning at her first swimming lesson, we have been working on this project for seventeen years now; at the lake, by the creek, or along the river, there is only one rule. She must be standing in front of water, her back to the camera, gazing across the water.,
THE GIRLS OF GROUP K
This project is an ongoing photo documentation of a group of girls who met on their adoption trip from China to Minnesota in 2002. Both sets of images have been made at pivotal junctures in their lives, the first group just before they started kind kindergarten and first grade. It was included in the MN Center for Photography Three Gorges Chines exhibition in 2006. The second set was made in 2019-20 as they were about to graduate high school. images are a part of my ongoing work on immigration and adoption in the Midwest. I am currently working on exhibiting this work together in an exhibition in 2026.
