TRACKING JIMMY, A THESIS PROJECT
I attended graduate school at UMASS Dartmouth in Massachusetts. My thesis show and my written thesis were both titled “Tracking Jimmy.” The work was inspired by the photos in an album I bought at a little indoor flea market in Ware, Massachusetts. Below are photos from the thesis show and a link to the written thesis.
I made a book to go along with my thesis show, explaining the process of finding the album and playing detective with the photographs.
