Shelter is an ode to storm shelters in Oklahoma. Each of these underground bunkers contains the basic components of a camera — a dark room and an opening. Using only the available light that filters in through the air vent, a sheet of light sensitive paper is pressed up against the surface to produce a unique exposure. The collection of images is presented as a constellation on the wall to conjure an imaginary aerial view of Oklahoma, with its many storm shelters dotting the landscape.
