How does creating a studio space in someone else's home influence the images? I imposed on friends to use their space and, sometimes, their camera. This act of intimate connection crosses over into my contemplative series, Seeing Memories. Does the space of a lifelong friend influence the images and the power of their visual narrative? Conceptually, I expolore the influence of the space I use as a studio in the images. The energy of connection, both in the space and in the relationship with the host or hostess, adds a layer of a cherished, unspoken threads of connection.  

"...senses of place, a serial sensitivity to place, are invaluable social and cultural tools, providing much-needed connections to what we call 'nature' and, sometimes, to cultures not our own.'' 

~ Lucy Lippard
