Band-Aids

Documentation project, 2015-2017.

Photo series of Band-Aids I encountered in the wild (and in the city). Once I started seeing these I couldn’t stop. I’m fascinated by the traces of people who have walked my path before me, and their uniquely post-modern trail of plastic artifacts. I made prints of these photos at Rauschenberg Residency and showed them at Blue Sky Gallery’s No Strings wall in 2016.
