I have been enjoying domestic bliss as we get the apartment settled. While I have not been shooting I have been thinking a lot about the home as I make adjustments to mine again for the 3rd time in three years. I continue to consider all of my stuff, as well as my boyfriends especially as we edit things in the apartment and decide to donate clothes, books, etc... I question when does a possession lose it's value to an individual? I consider value vs. memory does one make an object more important than the other?

Moving forward I would like to photograph more in the home, perhaps revisit photographing my own space now that things have changed again. Now that I have some distance I want to revisit my thesis work, is there space to make changes? Or do I just need to move on to a new body of work? I would like to spend some more time with it and see where else I can take the interviews and photographs of objects. Does the work need a sound component? Or can I make the photographs stand alone?
