shorthand, photographic installation (work-in-progress)
I asked my mother to transcribe my recent rejection letters into shorthand. I filmed her writing, and then edited the footage into a series of cropped images which I then printed on large-format paper. As a final act of translation, I sent my mother the crops, and she responded with the language she could discern, which became the titles of each work. The installation includes a few arrangements of variously-scaled digital prints which I anchored along the red line that runs down the middle of the Steno pad that my mother was writing on.
