CIRCUS PROJECT
“It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.”

I made a book!
I spent the last five years immersed within an SF Bay Area circus community, photographing performers and crewmembers on and off the stage. In that time I developed a body of work that explores what it really means to run away with the circus. Presented with the unique opportunity of stepping behind the curtain, I found myself amongst a wonderful array of artists and performers who graciously let drop the ribbons and paint so that I could see them there before me, living and breathing. They are a family in every sense of the word, bound not only by their passion and dedication, but also by their love and deep respect for each other as creators.
