Before I walked into Parsons, this is who was walking in.
The work — 16:9
Statement
An introduction, made before I arrived.
A self-introduction, made before I started at Parsons School of Design. Not a portfolio and not a résumé — a piece for the people I was about to spend the next years beside, so they would know who had turned up and why.
I gathered what I had rather than what would look best: photographs, documents, objects, and what my family remembers. The fragments don't entirely agree with each other, and I let them stay that way. An introduction that admits it is partial is more honest than one that doesn't.
The Work
An introduction isn't a summary. It's the first thing you let someone ask about.
