Dark Waters
“Dark Waters,” takes root in and around bodies of water named for violence: examples include “Murder Creek,” and “Bloody River.” The landscape of the southeastern United States is thick with such waters, their names reflecting something fundamental to our understanding of the region: its history of violence. I have been photographing these bodies of water and the people and landscapes that surround them, making visual what I understand to be a feedback loop between nature and myth: the way in which a threatening landscape primes a culture for violence and a violent culture relishes projecting a threat onto a landscape.
— from the project description
作品シリーズ『Dark Waters』は、「マーダー・クリーク」や「ブラッディ・リバー」など、暴力的な名前が付けられた水域やその周辺を取材し制作されている。アメリカ南東部にはこのような水域が多くあり、それらの名前は、この地域を理解する上で基盤となるもの、つまり暴力的な歴史と深く関わっている。私は、これらの水域とそれを取り巻く人々や風景を撮影し、私が理解する自然と神話の間のフィードバック・ループを視覚化してきた。つまり、脅威的な風景が文化を暴力へと駆り立て、暴力的な文化が風景に脅威を投影することを喜ぶといった方法である。
