I work across photography, film, and book form, moving between lens-based and tactile media. Rooted in queer and feminist perspectives, my practice explores identity, perception, and the shifting possibilities of embodiment.

My photobooks are held in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Rijksmuseum, the Worcester Art Museum, and the Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection.

I live and work in New York City, where I curate the Peter J. Cohen Collection, a vast archive of 20th-century vernacular photography. I also teach a course on the photobook at Parsons School of Design at The New School.
