My new book De/Faced will be released next month in conjunction with a new solo exhibit at the Walt Girdner Studio & Gallery in Pasadena.

De/Faced focuses on the faces I photographed on city walls. As I wandered through the city streets, I was drawn to faces more often than not. Faces on a city wall are, metaphorically “selfies” created without a camera and are part of the overall composition and mystery of each wall.

The faces in these images, along with hundreds more in the series, spoke to me in ways I did not understand until I began to curate the images for this book and exhibit. In the end, I imagined each face had a story. They said “look at me…I was here…I am here.”

De/Faced is the second monograph from my seven-year project, Art of the City Wall. The first book in the series, Artifacts, was released in 2018.

The gallery show will also be entitled De/Faced featuring images from the book and other faces from the wall series
