A Poor Man’s Index




November 2025



This index uses a collection of images, personal and historical, to tell the life story of a day laborer. Inspired by the West Virginia Coal Wars during the turn of the 19th century, this piece depicts the ordinary life of a working man, much like the men in my life. 

Photos and inscriptions include family vacations, newborn babies, trouble making, and cemetaries. 

2 11x17 posters made from plastic film and photos.
