Year of the Fallen Oak is currently up at the Carnegie in Jackson, TN.
Earlier this year, the work showed at FotoNostrum in Barcelona, Spain — next stop is Nashville this fall!

I completely fell in love with the tintype process this year!
I had two new works from Spillway in the Faculty Biennial on campus. Excited to keep exploring liminal spaces + materiality!
I love how the tintype process dignifies failure by aestheticizing every flaw.

It was an honor to see my photograph on the cover of the Catalyst for Change program and I so enjoyed all the thought-provoking conversations throughout the weekend. Such productive dialogue at this year’s conference — it was rejuvenating!
I presented recent work from Year of the Fallen Oak on two panels: An Unfixed Pilgrimage: Vulnerability, Kinship & Healing through Collaboration and Reciprocity Reframed: Co-creating in Light of Belonging.

Check out this article written by Sean Clancy & recently published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Sean and I discussed the works of O.N. Pruitt & Berkley Hudson’s Pruitt Project. You can find Berkley’s book here. It was an honor to participate on a panel discussing Pruitt’s images at the Delta Cultural Center in Helena-West Helena. Pruitt’s photographs will live on in the archives at UNC Chapel Hill, where they are now permanently housed as part of the Wilson Library’s Southern Historical Collection.

I was thrilled to have my work published in the New York Times alongside a beautiful essay by Margaret Renkl.
Big thanks to NYT Opinion for thinking of me!
