Well Beings
Well Beings is an in-process project exploring the deep ecology of sacred springs throughout Wales. Guided by local folklore and the photographic language of portraiture, this project specifically considers the personhood and agency of sacred waters—inclusive of the myriad folkloric, microscopic, and ‘invisible’ beings who animate these spaces.
In its current state, this work follows site-sensitive ritual invocations at each individual wellspring and the resulting images, which imaginatively embody the essence of the spring through the merging of water, light, reflection, and movement. Moving forward, we will leverage our experience of engaging with each spring site during our fieldwork to transform these sentient portraits into sculptural and multi-sensory artworks.

Echoes of the Witch
A photo-based project and digital memorial exploring cultural memory, power, and the land as they manifest through American witch executions.
Echoes of the Witch was a multi-year collaboration in which we traveled across present-day America to document the locations where our research indicates fifty-four individuals were accused of witchcraft and executed by the state. Operating on the premise that places hold memory and that cultural memory can be deeply political, this project investigates how the land and the people in these sites have honored, altered, hidden, perverted, or neglected the memories of these persecutions.
