i keep losing things but i will keep all of this forever
2025, inkjet prints, family archive, velvet, waxed thread
i keep losing things but i will keep this all forever is a small edition artist book inspired by Catholic and pagan pocket shrines. The contents pass through the walls of my grandmother's home in North Carolina, which she owned since the early 70s, and was recently emptied and sold. I use this book to encapsulate and preserve pieces of the house I cannot physically take, from materiality like wallpaper and beds to memories and emotions that are embedded in the foundation. Sprawled across the pages is a stream-of-consciousness text, a letter to the house and its former inhabitants.
Edition of five, each hand-constructed and sewn, fastened by velvet trim.
