Lex

Millbrook, NY - June 2020 - Lexi and I captured what became her “senior film”, following her solitary move out of her dorm. She had been away from campus for three months, and permitted back to the boarding school she called home only briefly to pack up and leave. After saying goodbye to her dorm, she and I wandered off to a big field, where we happened upon a bench. I started by asking her to move the way it felt to mourn. I ended by asking her to move the way it felt to be starting the rest of her life. It felt right to offer this gift to Lexi not just as a source of closure to the years she spent in my studio, but as a gift in celebration of what is to come.
