The Notes Series

Notes on Presence is the first publication in The Notes Series, an ongoing project exploring Generation X. The inaugural fanzine, Notes on Presence, explores society's - and our own - perceptions of women of a certain age, inspired by a debate I participated in a few years ago about the market value of people.

In Notes on Presence, the protagonist observes, meets, and photographs a variety of people to explore how society—and we as individuals—view aging women. The text is accompanied by portraits of queen statues, Les Reines de France et Femmes illustres, located in the Jardin du Luxembourg in Paris. According to a French couple I met in the garden, the statues form a small matriarchy within an otherwise patriarchal city.

The book is distributed worldwide by Antenne Books.
