2016 was another year of travel, but unlike previous years, my explorations were more international than domestic: for more than two months I made work in Belgium, Ethiopia, France, Ireland, Japan, Northern Ireland, and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

One month of that period was for a residency in the North of France and Belgium. The residency, “Resilient Images<\/a>,” is a joint program launched by the Hyde Park Art Center and the Centre r\u00e9gional de la photographie Nord\u2014Pas-de-Calais and supported by the MacArthur Foundation, the French Embassy, and Institut Français. I will be writing more about my project in a few months, but if you’re interested in learning a little more about what I’m doing in the North, you can read a little more about it in this short interview<\/a>. The rest of the summer, I continued my project about Eleventh Night and the Twelfth in Belfast<\/a>, photographed in Tōhoku and showed photographs at Gallery Tanto Tempo<\/a> in Japan, toured Ethiopia with friends, and visited with guest workers in Dubai. <\/p>\n

But I also did some domestic travel, including for a show in Buffalo, New York at Dennis Maher’s incomparable Fargo House<\/a> and a screening of scenes from The Area<\/a><\/em> at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee’s Mobile Design Box<\/a> in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I also made brief visits to the area around Louisville, Kentucky and New Orleans, Louisiana. Of course, I spent plenty of time in Chicago, Illinois and Minneapolis, Minnesota, which finally feels like home. <\/p>\n

The other big project news is that after nearly five years, The Area<\/a><\/em> is swiftly moving towards completion with Scrappers Film Group<\/a> after a party and fundraiser in December. “Thank you,” everyone who attended and contributed!<\/p>\n

I can’t possibly do justice to the places I visited in this short post, but I’ve included links to locations for which I made blog posts, and posted a few photographs from each site. If I authored a blog post about a particular visit, the section title is a link to the post.<\/p>\n

To 2017! It’s going to be a busy one, isn’t it?<\/p>\n
