The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Glendalis, the life and world of a youngest daughter
This analog project traces the life of a youngest daughter in a family on the Lower East Side. Shot exclusively in the fields, buildings and apartments of that neighborhood, the family occupied a multigenerational tenement, a family system which echoes my own. Multiple generations lived on the same block, neighborhood or house, with everyone all on top of each other. Shooting this work felt real and authentic, a call back to who I was as a city kid in one of the most economically stratified cities in America. Blind Mag referred to me as an “enfant sauvage”-wild child in English. However, even though I constructed a beatific family narrative in my pictures, the blocks were not beatific at all. Crime, incarceration, gangs and death surrounded these neighborhoods, informed by my own upbringing.
