On view through November 5, 2026
Eleven homes burned to the ground in my immediate neighborhood in Pasadena, bordering the southern edge of Altadena. After returning from the mandatory evacuation, I did my best to resume my daily morning walks — a small ritual of return, a way of re-entering a landscape that was no longer what it had been.
On one of those walks, I saw this abandoned chair — torn asunder, leaving behind layers of fabric, cloth, and other materials. Each layer seemingly telling its own story of the fire that had transpired. I stopped and made this photograph.
Found is made through a custom infrared process I developed in post-production, one that draws out colors and textures the eye doesn't ordinarily register. The process asks a familiar scene to reveal what it holds beneath its visible surface — not destruction alone, but the quiet persistence of material, of form, of what remains.
Grateful to have the work seen and selected by Chandra Glick, Photo Director at Artforum. To be recognized by someone whose eye shapes the conversation around contemporary photography means a great deal.
I won't be able to make tonight's opening, but I encourage everyone to visit the show — it's a beautiful exhibition with work from an incredible community of photographers. I look forward to meeting you there before it closes on November 5th.
Thank you to the Los Angeles Center of Photography for continuing to build space for this community.
