The George Gund Foundation

For the past 15 years, I have made long exposure photographs using only available light. Across several series and in many cities, I have focused on the passage of time and people within spaces both public and private. With the Cleveland commission, I was interested in examining the ways, both successful and not, in which public spaces can become a part of the fabric of city life. I found myself particularly drawn to Edgewater beach and the way it’s become a place for residents of all ages and income to escape the city summer."
