EYE OF THE STORM
October 30, 2014We often overlook the most mundane, everyday objects in our day to day lives, never thinking of the possibilities they might have.

The old photos (Of herself? Friends? Family?) seem both familiar and unnervingly detached; eerie, yet oddly comforting. See more of Meyer’s work […]
