Artist Statement

I began photographing the spaces and people of Bryn Mawr in order to answer a frank question: what does a woman’s college look like in 2018? Black-and-white medium format photography comprises the bulk of my project. Before I came out, these images allowed me to create a space to look at, to admire, and to be in love with the women I was surrounded by in my everyday. Thus with one foot in a fantasy, and one foot in reality, I staged and captured images that speak to both the complex nature of single sex spaces and to my own experience of coming out in this space.
