About “After a Painted River”
These large format analog photographs made in the Little Miami Scenic River valley are a contemporary photographic exploration of what the landscape and people of today carry forward from the past. Through walking, returning, and sustained observation, I consider how a river and its inhabitants are shaped by histories of passage, freedom, and belonging. Additionally, I bring the present landscape into dialogue with the African American abolitionist painter,Robert S. Duncanson whose nineteenth-century paintings of the same place serve as a key point of inspiration for the work.
