It’s been 10 years since I was in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to capture footage for the short film Black Grass — and 40 years since the Chernobyl disaster itself.

Wondering what it’s like now.

I’m in a phase where I don’t have a lot of time to make new work (or need to set aside more time), but I do want to share the work I’ve already made—especially pieces that haven’t had many chances to be shown over the past few years.

CAN Journal Spring 2025 release today at Cleveland Institute of Art. Thank you for including my work in the Photo Poets section curated by Aja Joi Grant. I always enjoy leafing by through the quarterly publication to discover artists and events.

“Photo Poets is a quarterly street photography feature that showcases Cleveland based photographers and their unique perspective of new and familiar places. The goal is to show representations of the city for the people, made by the people. Highlighting photographers using their camera and unique eye to capture the different corners of Cleveland, uncovering the narratives and experiences held within communities.”

Pictured are video stills from my Foreign Bodies series and the front cover by William E. Smith.
