What Water Feels examines the effects of shifting water levels, driven by climate events, across the upper Midwest, beginning at Lake Michigan, following the Mississippi River to the Gulf South, and extending into the Maritimes. Through a blend of experimental, long-exposure cyanotypes and documentary photography, the project explores the interplay between personal experience and the tangible presence of place. It features large-format digital prints, unique durational cyanotypes, artist’s books, and video works, creating an immersive investigation of how rising waters reshape both landscapes and the communities that inhabit them.

Depending on the process sizes in this series range from 11”x 14” to 4’x8’.
