gray michigan


i made this piece a few months ago but wanted to photograph it outside. the weather in michigan is just too gray and icy and muddy right now. there must be a way to take advantage of the ugly, right? this slightly creepy pink garage behind our house is lovely. thanks to alissa and liz for freezing their butts off even though the photos turned out slightly questionable...


{the piece is very much and very simply about people and how i imagine all the small things between us that make us feel part of something.}

thanks for looking --
