Artist Statement:
"I love feeling the weight of the camera, losing myself when photographing.
Observing what emanates from the stillness and the shadows.
I revel in the tensions between precision and chance, light and dark, the visible and invisible.
Observing what emanates from the stillness and the shadows.
I revel in the tensions between precision and chance, light and dark, the visible and invisible.
I began playing with a camera and image making at a young age with intense periods of formal photographic study along the way (RISD, NYU Tisch School of the Arts, ICP, and numerous workshops). From my graduate studies in Italian Literature to numerous teaching appointments in Italian and the Humanities, memory, myth, nostalgia, and mere beauty in the mundane have fascinated me and indeed continue to inform my photographic expression. For the last ten years, I’ve photographed with low-tech cameras (Holga, Diana, pinhole), and have enjoyed experimenting with alternative processes, integrating spontaneity and serendipity into my artistic process."

About the Rememberance series:
"In this series of photographs, I explore the relationship between decaying beauty and monumentality. Having spent much time in Italy, I found myself drawn to these statuary works as they seemed overlooked, forgotten, and melancholic. I imagined their importance when they were first created. I imagined what history unfolded around them. I imagined what they might have witnessed. For me, these photographs symbolize forgotten narratives that beg to be retold and remembered.
These images were photographed with a 1956 Rolleiflex, a medium format twin lens reflex camera." -Adrienne Defendi
