Keeping My Head Above It All visually explores the concept of social and spatial distancing prompted by the Covid-19 global pandemic. Using a bird’s-eye view from the position on the tops of parking garages and upper floors of downtown Portland buildings, the series of photographs embodies tension between presence and absence as we as a community learn to physically and psychologically navigate these new realities.
In context of the virus itself, as well as the pause on public life, the photographs represent the challenge of visually rendering what is in fact invisible. Such invisible forces include dynamics such as personal and societal pandemic fear, misinformation, divisiveness and economic uncertainty.
The majority of the photographs were created in the Spring of 2020.
The photographs are available for purchase on aluminum or as archival prints

Aluminum Prints
The photographs are printed on aluminum through the process of dye sublimation. Because the image is infused into the surface and not on it, the images will take on an almost magical luminescence. The mid-gloss print surface provides intense vibrant colors and detail with a reduced glare surface. A 3/4″ inset frame on the back of each photograph creates the appearance the image is floating away from the wall when hung. Each print features a wire hangar making the installation process simple.
Like all photographs, the prints need to avoid constant direct sunlight. The ultra-hard scratch-resistant surface is waterproof/weatherproof and can be cleaned easily with water. It is recommended to use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe off the print.
