Concept 

The New Yorker | Flash Fiction
“Listening for the Click”
Published: 07-22-21

Process: This was my first assignment for The New Yorker and is a favorite. I was emailed a draft of the story and asked to draw up concepts. The winner of which can be seen above.

I created final image in four steps:
  1. Photograph base image.
  2. Print base image. 
  3. Layer print with filth and place on scanner bed.
  4. Scan, clean up, voila. 

The base image was taken of my best friend’s hands in her bathroom (thanks, Morgan <3). Both she and bathroom were pre-approved by The New Yorker’s Fact Check team to ensure accuracy with the story (yes, even fiction is fact-checked).
