12 in 21 – February 2021

MICRO-MACRO is the February 2021 installment of ’12 in 21’, a year-long series of month-long art/photography projects. It is an opportunity to delve into interests and projects usually pushed to the side. Most of the work is analog based. Visually, there is no set agenda, just energetic exploration allowing the process to inform and inspire. For this project I had intended to photograph a wide range of subject/objects with close-up cameras and lenses, but decided to over-explore one subject… In the early 80’s I purchased a couple of boxes of impossibly tiny adorable nails, some shorter that 1/4″.  They appeared handmade, each one different. Could never figure out what they were for, perhaps shoemaking. I gave a box to my mother, who strangely appreciated them, and I’ve probably used 1 nail a year since then….
