Scores for Arrangement


This body of work begins with a set of typed scores. Each score lays out a set of actions or conditions for arranging materials. The photographs are made in response to those instructions; the scores and resulting images are shown together. In exhibitions of this work, each score can be handled and read alongside its photograph. Viewers move between the instruction and the image, seeing how an action becomes an arrangement, and how that arrangement becomes a photograph.


The work is less about producing a fixed image and more about following a process. The score does not determine the outcome. It sets a structure that can be followed, misread, or adjusted in the act of making. Reading and looking stay in relation. The image does not resolve the score, and the score does not explain the image.


The images are informed by my research into gynecological histories and medical archives, but the scores are not bound to that content. They offer a structure that can be taken up and used to produce other arrangements, other images.
