Mr. Fred and Mr. Greg

​Mr. Fred and Mr. Greg is a literary exhibit that tells the story of a father and son. Separated by prison walls, they maintained their relationship through years of letters. For years, Mr. Greg kept the loss close by his side, secure and hidden from view.

Mr. Fred and Mr. Greg is a son’s expression of an attempt to understand his father’s incarceration and the relationship they maintained.

Through old letters, illustrations, 8mm footage, and recently written short memoirs, I attempt to articulate the bond with my dad that held strong despite years of physical and mental distance.

Recorded versions of pieces from Mr. Fred and Mr. Greg are below.
