Trace fossils are a category of preserved remains that provide evidence of a life-form’s movement, its activity, and the way it lived. These photos are inspired by this biological record, and an effort to cut from the raw material of life— illuminating not just that we lived, but how we lived.
Trace Fossils is a collection of images spanning more than a decade, captured on everything from iPhones to disposables to film. Consider it an invitation to notice; the small but significant moments we move through everyday, and the intimacies and intricacies that tend to dog-ear our memories. I hope Trace Fossils makes you want to get on your hands and knees in the dirt and charm of your life, and witness it with eyes wide open.
