Chairs of Our Lives

Some are empty and waiting. Others are upholstered thrones – once made for kings and now made for executives. Many are abandoned at curbside. Two chairs together become visually married. The “too ugly” chair sitting serenely in a corner... is fascinating.

Travel

I think tourists are the unheroic travelers of the modern age, and I find humor in our predictable behavior. What are we looking at? What do we want to know from these places? Is it the details and fragments, or are we taking indirect glances at each other, looking for commonalities and connections?

Images created for the play "The Unexpected Man" by Yasmina Reza. Using the actual script as background, this series of folios reflects the interior monologues of the “The Man” and “The Woman,” the only 2 characters in the play.
