This ongoing photographic essay began in 2004 in response to the question I dread: Where do you live? When asked where I am from, I am hesitant to identify myself as a Bostonian. When I was a teenager and it came time to fly the nest, I wanted to reside beyond parental reach, but not so far that I couldn’t return when homesickness hit. I have set up house in Boston for nine years now, but I cannot, in my heart, call it home.

My favorite place on earth is a yellow farmhouse in Maryland. I grew up there building secret forts in the woods, cross-country riding, and exploring the neighboring fields, usually unsupervised. The area is serenely beautiful, and I have developed a strong connection with my parent’s house and its surrounding countryside.

I am motivated by memories - of hunting for treasures in the attic, spying on the farmers, or being alone in a field and hearing the dinner bell calling me home. I am once again exploring the dusty quarters of the house and uncharted corners of the cornfields, filing away memories and sifting through history for identity. Even in the new and changed I find familiarity, and at times I wonder if I ever actually left.

Destroyed by Fire : Driving along the back roads, I came across this house which had been destroyed by fire and abandoned. I was taken by the personal belongings scattered around...particularly a high school sports trophy that was perched in a precarious room and just far enough to be unreachable. Who knows how long it has stood there. Oddly, there were two stoves in the small kitchen and at some point it may have been home to some squatters...an old musty suitcase was stuffed in a crevice.
