Laundry, undated.

This ongoing project, titled Laundry for the rote activities which encompass and define our everyday lives, is an investigation of what it means for photography to be fun—and of what truly defines art. Should art be accessible? Should it portray objects and settings that we might normally consider banal; should it, in fact, prioritize the living that is done around and within the art, rather than enact a form of visual superiority by displaying only that which is traditionally beautiful or interesting? In an age in which photography is ever more accessible, our cultural understanding of value must be scrutinized and reinterpreted to integrate the phenomenally fun and the radically mundane. Laundry is an investigation of the lens as a mode of living, and through this, artmaking.
