They are what they seem. started as a "stretching" exercise in my studio - whenever I got stuck I made one. I made myself laugh, loosen up and just feel better about what I was up to. After the 40th one, I started to think that maybe they were more than a stretch.



This work has nothing to do with my family photographs and the source material of the text comes from real experiences I have had, over heard or just plain made up.
