Lineage

Lineage distills selected encounters into large-scale, layered portrait works.

Emerging from the documentary process of Land & Lives, these pieces focus on lives shaped across generations — where personal memory, cultural inheritance, and historical continuity intersect.

Each work begins with listening. Stories, letters, photographs, and family artifacts are documented and gathered with care. Portraits are printed on vellum and layered over contextual foundations — archival imagery, text fragments, stitching, and material elements that allow the present to be seen through what preceded it.

History does not sit beside the subject.
It rests beneath.
Visible through.

Not every encounter becomes a Lineage work. Those that do carry generational depth — where inheritance, lived experience, and environment converge in visible ways.

These portraits are constructed at scale. They are designed to hold weight — visually and historically.

Lineage is not biography. It is interpretation grounded in encounter, shaped by respect for memory, culture, and continuity.
