Press: It's Nice That, The New Yorker, 

Mawmaw is an intimate, long-term exploration of West Virginia’s grandfamilies – households where children are being raised by their grandparents. Spanning all four seasons, the work moves beyond the usual narratives around the opioid crisis to examine the many reasons grandparents step into a caregiving role: incarceration, death, unpreparedness, or neglect. Through photographs made between 2021 and 2026, the book weaves together everyday life — from birthdays and play to exhaustion and resilience — to show both the triumphs and the struggles.
