Leftovers @ The Curated Fridge

I have one image in this unusual group show.

The Curated Fridge is an art gallery in Somerville, Massachusetts – well not a full gallery but literally one fridge in one apartment! it’s a fun idea and has grown into a bigger project over the last 10 years with a wide range of influential curators involved and remote exhibits in a variety of other galleries.

Leftovers features prints from previous submissions that were given a second chance to shine. Curated by Yorgos Efthymiadis @yorgosphoto, founder of TCF, the exhibition consists of 93 photographs.

An opening party is scheduled for January 18th (3-5pm)
Location: 281 Medford St, Somerville, MA 02143 

 

I have one of my 6 Feet Apart  images in the show:

It is a privilege to see my name alongside such a stellar group of talented lens-based artists, photographers, and filmmakers. Navigating the art/photo world can be a challenge, and festivals like NOVA24 that champion community and visibility are so vital.
Congratulations to everyone on the list. Looking forward to connecting with more of you, and keeping my fingers crossed for the final venue placements in Detroit.

NOHGA HOTEL KIYOMIZU KYOTO

Open: 4/18-5/17, 2026

Burn Line is a meditation on loss, resilience, and transformation in the wake of California’s wildfires. 

Using a process I call Pyrotype, photographic images are CNC-engraved into wood and then transformed through controlled burning into solid charcoal. Each piece becomes both image and relic—a fusion of photography, sculpture, and memory—objects literally forged by fire, embodying how trauma alters what remains.

I created these pieces in collaboration with fire survivors. Together we looked at photographs of objects they lost in the fires. Then we worked together to tell a story about what was meaningful and what was lost. 

Alongside these collaborations, I also include my own black-and-white photographs of the fire’s aftermath, reflecting on destruction and renewal through my own lens.

JÖTÖSHIKI
(ROOF-RAISING CEREMONY)
上棟式
A traditional Japanese ceremony held after a building’s framework is complete.
It expresses gratitude to those who built it, shows respect for the land, and prays for the safety, stability, and well-being of the people who will live and gather there.
This ofuda (paper talisman) from a local shrine is placed within the structure as a blessing-inviting protection and harmony as the home’s life begins.

REBUILDING WITH CARE
In the wake of fire, rebuilding is more than construction-it is a return.
Jötöshiki reminds us that every structure begins with respect for the land and hope for a safe future.
This exhibition space, too, is a temporary frame for healing— a place to honor what was lost, and to imagine what can grow.

I was so glad to include a few ritual elements in my installation.

ABOUT JOTOSHIKI EMI
Also called jotosai, this roof-raising ceremony celebrates the completion of a building’s framework. It gives thanks, honors the land, and prays for the building’s safety and the well-being of all who will dwell within.

My solo exhibition in Kyoto ends this weekend. If you’re in town, you’re invited to come check it out - open 11 to 5 daily. Check out the video tour on my YouTube channel-I made tours of a handful of other exhibitions in the festival. While you’re at the hotel, check out the wonderful bakery in the lobby, my favorite item was the Matcha white chocolate scone. @cicon_by_nohgahotel @nohgahotel.kiyomizu @kgplus @gojo_plus
