Echoes of the Witch
2019 Present-day America
In collaboration with visual artist Margaux Crump, Echoes of the Witch is a photographic documentary project exploring cultural memory, power, and the land as they manifest through the history of American witch executions.
Throughout 2019, we travelled around present-day America to document the locations where records indicate fifty-four individuals were accused of witchcraft and executed by the state. In each location, this project investigates how the land and the people in these sites have honored, altered, hidden, perverted, or neglected the memories of these persecutions. The images featured below comprise a small edit of a much larger body of work.
This project operates on the premise that places hold memory, and that cultural memory can be deeply rooted. What we choose to remember—and how—has a profound impact on how we understand ourselves and our world. The goal of this work is to help bring these memories back into awareness in order to encourage healing, (un)learning and collective evolution.
