William Faulkner’s Kitchen Curtains, Rowan Oak, Oxford, Mississippi, 2018
I am honored and grateful to be the recipient of a Tennessee Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship award to support the completion, exhibition, and publication of my current series, Southern Fiction. This series of large-format color photographs explores the history of the American South using its literary tradition as a road map, focusing on environments which have shaped the imaginations of 20th-century Southern writers during their formative years or throughout the course of their lives and careers. The images portray domestic settings, vernacular architecture, and rural landscapes that visually resonate with the history, culture, and atmosphere of the Deep South.
