excerpt from The Outtakes catalog by Silvana Editoriale:

"Everyone has outtakes. They are the things you leave behind when you have to make choices. They might be old clothes, old habits, anything discarded or rejected. My outtakes usually get banished to the trash, but they also hide out of sight in storage. In March 2020 the Pandemic came hard and fast. Everything was normal until, well, it wasn't. The stress of future deadlines was cancelled. The world was postponed indefinitely. In quarantine there was time ... unstructured days and weeks... time to straighten up the studio. Waiting to be organized were countless yellow boxes of Kodak, notes going back to the 70's, processing instructions for photo labs now extinct. Transparencies of sheet film not touched for 20, 30 years. There were rejects, mistakes at the time. Somehow I had new eyes, and it felt as if what was wrong might now be right. In photography, every shot is a chance, an unsolved mystery until the frozen image is secure. Occasionally, the camera moved accidentally, showing new details along the edge of the frame. The differences and similarities were startling, outtakes and final edited choices, moving between ambiguity and clarity, searching for answers in the minefield of doubt."
