Representing one of several years-long projects the artist works on simultaneously, Hotel Room Portraits portrays a 13 year documentation of he and his partner's travels around the world. Done in a raw, emotionally stark manner, he has chosen to reveal to us this most intimate, private relationship in the context of the many rooms they have stayed in on their journeys.
