Excited to announce an essay about my work by Dennis Nawrocki will be included in Essay'd Vol. III, a collection of writing about Detroit artists to be published by Wayne State Press in September, 2018. Read the full essay here.
"Who, after all, can resist Semivan’s avowal to fathom the inner recesses of the human vessel: “I consider photography to be both a tool for escape, and an instrument for self-knowledge: a door into the dark.” There, in darkness and solitude, eye-opening epiphanies, dramas, enigmas, and more await." - Dennis Nawrocki, Essay'd Vol. III.
