’Ambient, transitional light; mutable surfaces; images of the endotic make manifest a view that's somewhat compromised in its’ making. The work reflexively explores the experience of the migrant - the temporal fragility of the lives of those who must leave. It articulates their strategies of survival and assimilation in photographs tempered by the mores, sanctions, and beliefs of the country in which they were made. Located in the march between autocracy and democracy, the photographs act as both apertures of seeing and archeological density maps - physical and conceptual ways of articulating being ‘in-between’ - neither fish nor flesh, neither permanent resident nor naturalized citizen.
