I'm gearing up for the Society of Photographic Educator's South East, 2010 Tallahassee, FL later this month. I'm excited to be able to present my work from the last 4 years when I was living in the South. I have been working with the ideas of space, place, history and politics of power and race. The title of my presentation is 'Up in Smoke; Scenes from a Modern Day Battlefield' and I will speak about 4 bodies of work that have been made since living south of the Mason-Dixon line. These ideas speak to the asymmetry of power through history, the ways in which history is recorded and 'brought to life' today. Wish me luck!
