	Untitled (No.1), 1998, Nova Jet Digital Print, 16"x20"

These images exist as a statement to family relationships whose complexity and simplicity never truly unfold. I reexamine and reconstruct material from family albums to create images that explore and question personal history and relationships. Past and present exist simultaneously within these fictitious truths; a space not very different from memory.
