"We will leave some traces, for we are people and not cities." - Ionesco, The Chairs





Last year, I took over 50 pictures of gloves that had been lost and abandoned around the city. The photo collection entitled Hands Across New York is one of my favorite pieces of art in my home.

Because I am currently directing Steven Deitz' Lonely Planet, I am acutely aware of all the empty chairs randomly left on the streets of New York. Who sat in these chairs? What does it say about their personality? Where did the owner go? Why is the chair no longer needed?
