Siren Song

November 2023

I am SO very pleased to announce that my book Siren Song, hand sewn by Stanley James Press in the UK, is ready for release. It is the result of a five-year (2015-2019) photo project at the Salton Sea, California. The book is more about the people – or specifically, their absence – than about the land. The photographs are of traces of the everyday in the vicinity of this toxic, abandoned lake. It is a meditation on a place that somehow felt like home to me. The book reveals itself through its tangible dimensions and paper stock and layers of words and images.

What a month

June 2020

These last few months have been so strange with a pandemic that has taken such a toll, worldwide. In the last few weeks we have seen worldwide protests against systemic racism, police brutality and the struggle to imagine that black lives matter. In some ways I am reluctant to post about my good fortune. And yet I am so grateful and thankful for all the support I continue to receive. Images from my project “Siren Song”are part of the Photoville Fence New England exhibition on display in Winchester, MA, this summer. A photo from" “Siren Song” is included in the PhotoPlace Gallery exhibition Dreamscapes and Visions. Lastly, pictures and text from my project, “This Miracle,” were posted as a small photo essay in the online magazine, Edge of Humanity. This has all been a tremendous honour!
