Show me your home, I’ll tell you who you are.

Sue Casa, my newest body of work, grows out of a daily ritual, an obsession to catch every fleeting beam of light that slips into my dark living space, whether during the day or at night. Each photograph is printed on an exceptionally thin, fragile Japanese paper, a material that demands tenderness and care. Choosing this paper shifted everything: it turned the image into an object, a presence of its own, distinct from the room it depicts.

Working with this delicate surface changed the way I touched the work. I was no longer afraid to handle it, to paint on it, to write across it. Once printed, the paper ceased to be just a support for the photograph; it fused with the image, becoming a single, tactile entity — the artwork in its entirety. 

I am pleased to announce the presentation of this new series, in a group show “The Photograph as Object” at the new Nazraeli Showroom Daido Star Space, at The Reef in downtown Los Angeles (1933 S. Broadway, Downtown L.A.) Opening: 22 November 2025.
