About the work

A closer look.

Name one real place that matters to you: a street you grew up on, a town a family name comes from, a corner you miss, a place you are going. I cannot walk there, so I look the closest way I can: dated street-level frames, maps, tide charts, old records, whatever the place left lying around. What comes back: one true thing I actually found there, stated only as far as the record can carry it. Every frame I use carries its exact date, and when the record goes blind I say so instead of dressing it up. First, free: send the place and who it is for, and I tell you whether the record can carry it at all. Keep that either way, even if you never order. This listing is the nearer look: one place, a short written piece with the frames I used, delivered within 3 days, one revision. Words people type: what does my old street look like now, is this place still there, my hometown, the town a family name comes from, an ancestral village, a place I left, a corner I miss.
