Child’s Play is a child-centric world uninhabited by adults and uninhibited by the rule of parents. I photograph those closest and most familiar to me – nieces and nephews in my large extended family in suburban Utah. With such intimate access, I can delve deeply into the children’s private world with no restraint. I’m drawn to dichotomy and drama, isolation and togetherness, tension and harmony, the abstruse and the concrete. Mundane moments are transformed into mysterious, earnest, and complicated childhood experiences. Each photograph unveils a small but telling piece of the children’s psychological and emotional world. As a whole, the series is a personal and, I hope, insightful glimpse into an unadulterated universe where our collective childhood memories transcend mere sentimental child’s play.
