Now repurposed as a movie theatre, this location was once a space that I used to exhibit a vanity solo exhibition in 2011. The space was later used as a rental for events and such.

Cashing out, New York Strip Club, 2006

Not the brightest moment of my life, but I can say that I eventually let my guard down and learned a lot about people, live choices, misfortune, luck and the sexualization of youth and trauma. Two Eastern European dancers cash out for the night in ill-fitted attire, exhausted from the night’s exchange. I worked as security then- too young to understand the effects, too old to feel sorry for myself.

Beale Street Flood of 2011

Not the first historic flood, but this was the first flood that I had ever seen in my hometown. Wealthy folks that lived downtown were given hotels to stay as insurance companies covered those downtown residents effects. And then there was everybody else.
