2025 Handmade Photobook Exhibition, Griffin Museum of Photography, MA

I am very grateful that my book, Sweeping The Graves was curated into the Handmade Photobook Exhibition at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts.. Many thanks to Datz Press founder and owner, Sangyon Joo for this honor and to The Griffin Museum of Photography. You can view this exhibit from July 5th through Sept. 28th 2025.

Sweeping The Graves is an homage to the hospice patients and families I had the honor of bearing witness to while working as a hospice social worker. I continue to hold their stories of infinite grace, wisdom, and grief in my bones. This book has been a way for me to metaphorically sweep off their graves and honor their presence on this earth.

This flutter book has collagraphed covers and is 5 1/2 x 7 inches. It contains two full bleed images that have text printed on Awagami paper that is hand stitched into the gutter of the pages. The book also includes a sheet of Joss paper for the reader to burn in memory of their own loved ones if they choose.
