Year of Wandering has been published in Give & Take Motherhood and the Creative Process, Demeter Press, and is supported by the Mississippi Arts Commission Individual Artist Grant program.
In 2020 we saw the pandemic upend so many lives and create the anxiety, isolation, and mourning that led many people, including my family, back to nature. Every day during the pandemic my daughter and I spent hours finding solace and refuge by walking in the woods. During those walks, we contemplated life, death, and loss, but that time together was also a source of creativity and hope, and a photographic collaboration between the two of us developed. Year of Wandering provides an intimate and personal archive of my life as my role as mother and artist blurred into one.
Images in this series are made using historical photo processes including wet plate collodion combined with digital photography. Print sizes range from 4”x 5” tintypes to 20”x 30” archival inkjet prints.
