In a series titled Look at Me, I photographed myself performing daily actions in my bathroom. Brushing my teeth, shaving, applying moisturizer, I captured my unique experience of common, ubiquitous moments which are often overlooked.

Reveling in the display of these intimate activities, I sought to expose instances more private, those which I had never shared at all. In Go On, I'm Listening and Double-Blind I documented my voyeuristic side, inverting the very nature of the affairs. While in Inflection, a collaboration with Ariana Page Russell, she and I bared our individual responses to a shared trauma. Where Progression unfurls my continued fascination with sublime mundanity, Repose sets in motion a new set of pieces documenting familiar experiences which are new to me.

Common among the entire body of portraits is an examination of the self as both unique and ubiquitous, the man and the anyman.
