As a Goodall Fellow for the Goodall Environmental Science Center at Wofford College, I was invited to interact with ecological sites of interest in Glendale, South Carolina. Through a combination of archival research provided by the Environmental Science Department at Wofford and sensorial experience through spending time at the sites of interest, I became interested in the ways the past was carried within the sensory experiences of Glendale, as well as how the present held the presence of a potential future.
Lumen prints incorporating the tactile elements of sites along the Lawson Creek, Glendale Shoals, and Glendale Mill along with archival and recent photographs bring the viewer into a temporal space in which linear time is suspended in favor of flowing between geological, historical, and sensorial perspectives. A Cherished Carrying of Iron and Water focuses on the complexity of a rapidly changing landscape entangled with drastic alteration of human relationship to a place through the development and decline of industrialization.
