This series of photographs about my family is titled All That Love Allows.  These photographs are a very personal
investigation of the changing relationships within my family.  Photographing my Mom, Dad, and two brothers I am
examining how aging and distance has changed our relationships, and how the lines of what I believe are normal
have become blurred. It is a curious and strange time in our family as my mother is now aging and ailing and we,
as her children, now care for her.  My father holds onto the idea of my brothers and me as young children while
my younger brother is neither child nor man.  I still long for the days when we could all still fit and cuddle in the same
bed on Saturday mornings.  The expectations between children and parents have been curiously, and questionably
reversed.  These photographs are about the sadness and confusion of illness and aging, nostalgia for childhood,
and an insecurity about the future.  To make these photographs I stage my family within the family home in poses
and situations that are from my memories, reflecting real and imagined occurrences.  They are the staged family
photograph, referencing both a theatre in photography as well as the familiarity of family snapshots.
