The Valley of the Cross

Artist's book, 2021-2026

An artist's book from 2021, photographed in the Valley of the Cross in Jerusalem, and a 2026 diptych that goes back to the same valley.

Most of my projects focus on a particular place, or create new places that develop over time. In the end they take shape as artist's books, where sequence and structure let me build a sustained experience rather than a single image.
