Square Miles
A roadside archive built one square frame at a time.
Square Miles is an ongoing body of square-format photographs made while moving through the American West and beyond. The images are gathered from roadsides, small towns, desert edges, old highways, and the in-between places that rarely ask to be looked at directly.
The square frame gives each scene a kind of containment. It turns a passing moment into a small territory one mile, one town, one sign, one relic, one pause along the road. Some photographs are landscapes. Some are documents. Some are jokes, accidents, or quiet evidence that people were here and left something behind.
