We move through an experience just as we walk along a path.  Our view of what is ahead and what was behind are not as clear as our present position. This is the nature of memory and expectation as well. Path, from 2011, is about photography’s ability to communicate an experience. Photographs remind us of past events, but in such a way that supplants our own memories of the event. Memories can also remain as inaccurate images of something we have experienced. Perhaps neither can make an objective truth claim. Both are used to construct narratives. There are stories we tell and paths we map out to explain where we are today. These works are about that progression and our attempts to express it.

The twenty-four images presented here are two rolls of medium format, twelve-exposure film. The images are presented in chronological order. For a written companion to this series, read Robert Frost’s poem, “The Road Not Taken.”
