To Shake, To Shatter, my debut solo exhibition, is a photography project about memory, family and relationship to oneself. All images are taken on large format film, in Nashville Tennessee and my home town Carlock, Illinois.

This project aims to encounter past and present notions of self and reconstructed memory.

For this series, I explored my family archives to gather video stills from my childhood. I turned those stills into 30x40 inch prints, and photographed them in natured scenes in Nashville. These stills provided a way for the past to entangle itself with the present. I found these stills to interact hauntingly and romantically with the light and the shadows of the now, providing a landscape to be experienced. In addition to the conceptual scenes, the still lifes and self portraits depict reconciling with personal identity and layered memory.

A selection of images featured in this project were awarded a Student ADDY Award through the American Advertising Federation Nashville.

Available for purchase.
