505 SOS
Until 2007 the only area code for the entire state of New Mexico was “505”. When approached by PHROOM about my work I wanted to be sure to provide a sequence that was entirely comprised of images from the state where I now live and work. In “505 SOS” I use my flash and the omnipresent light where I live to craft a surreal narrative, based in time, light, and a natural ability to interpret the mundane as otherworldly. Ultimately, this series is about the strange, beautiful, and intriguing nature of the state of New Mexico.
