Sacred Spaces- An Exploration of Place/An Exploration of Process
Redefining a collection of images from my past through the exploration of a new process. These images document spaces around the globe that manage to resonate relevance and draw people near. The idea of a geographic location beckoning people to seek it out, for a variety of different reasons, fascinates me. As populations boom, the [...]
The Diana Visits South of the Border
Having grandparents in Maryland and grandparents in Georgia made for many a childhood trip up and down I-95. Years later I still find myself on that asphalt artery…moving back and forth across the Mason-Dixon Line (more trips beneath it than across it for those fact checkers out there).
