Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

I will further my artistic practice in the medium of photography and photo-books. A series of four photo-books will be created during the grant period. I will also research contemporary photo-books to better understand how my photography dialogs with others.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I did further my artistic practice in the medium of photobooks. The books were created and shared with curators, publishers and the Minnesota community. I spent time researching the medium and shared that knowledge with the audience and my students.
