In the summer of 2020, the photographer Tina Barney invited me to her home in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, to look through hundreds of prints of images she made in the early stages of her career. These were images that Tina had never shown or published, and after spending the better part of a day viewing them, it was clear to me that they would make a powerful — and revelatory — addition to her lauded body of work. Tina asked me to design a book featuring these photographs, and over the course of the next 6 months or so, we worked together compiling a group of images until it was the right moment for me to create a mockup for the book.

With that mockup in hand, Tina reached out to several publishers, eventually finding a home for the project at Radius Books, which will launch the book officially in the spring of 2023. A selection of these prints is currently featured in an exhibition at Kasmin Gallery in New York City.
