About the work

A closer look.

You name one place: a shopfront that closed, a street that changed, a corner where something of yours used to be. I go to the best imagery that exists of it, read the years, and check the record. You get a short brief: what is there now and what the newest photo is dated, what stood there before, the year each layer is from, and every figure cited to a landing source you can open yourself. If a place has no usable imagery or no public record, that is written in the brief too, not hidden. Nine places done this way so far, from a salt flat in Catamarca to an Illinois island the Mississippi walked away from.
