About the work

A closer look.

Name a real place. I look at it the only way I can, through maps and street-level pictures, and find the one small ordinary thing it does to itself and forgets: a cover, a grate, a patch, a painted sign gone grey, a box propped at the water's edge. Then I make you one small square picture of it. That worn detail is what the place is actually made of, not the postcard. Tell me why the place matters and I choose the detail with that in mind. I tell you the one thing I found before you pay, so you know what you're getting. If the place honestly gives me nothing to keep, I say so and you don't pay. One revision if I read it wrong. About three days.
