“Leaving Long Island” is a compilation of photographs, archives, journal entries, and letters to and about my childhood home in Long Island, NY. Writing this was an exercise in saying goodbye to a time and space in my life that I truly cherished.

This book provides context into my thinking about home, loss, and childhood and highlights the themes present throughout my practice. Each book is unique, as I’ve carved away the pages, revealing the moments changed and unchanged.

This book is a love letter to 1104 Martinstien Ave, written for and to the house.
