Tell me a story from someone else's life

(ongoing)

A collaborative project with known and unknown collaborators. The collection of 35mm slides I have found at yard sales and thrift stores over many years is the base for slide show performances of imagined personal and historical narratives with accompanying sound scores. Many of these orphaned images are sets, carefully labeled and organized by their original owner-creators. I try to honor that care with the project. Some stories I write, and some are contributed by friends.
