where i stand sunday



The antique sale is a regular feature to the autumn backdrop. I took my time this visit, sifting through the closed dresser drawers I normally sail past without a thought. I found textile after textile neatly stacked inside. I wondered at the woman who made them, if she ever thought her pieces would end up squirreled away like a secret. I thought of my own work, uncertain of their future after I am no longer around to care for them. The urgency to leave my mark on them looms larger then ever at the idea.



Where I Stand is an ongoing photo essay examining the different places I spend my life standing. Too often we take for granted the everyday places we spend our lives walking on. The ground we tread on has its own stories to tell.

Where I stand is becoming a piece of my weekly nourishment; opening doors to the places, thoughts, realities, journeys that come to the forefront of thought when you take that time to snap a shot of your feet and ask the question. Thank you for providing this most delicious meal to my creative self from your creative self.
