Blood in Heaven

2018 - 2019

This body of work stems from an obsession with girlhood; a dark and sometimes unnerving attachment to remaining youthful and innocent while knowing I am no longer the girl I used to be. Blood in Heaven comes from my exploration of religion and spirituality that has continued to circle faith based on rituals. 

I use a 4x5 view camera to stage scenes that clue the viewer into the relationship between young women and the spiritual world. These photographs are documents of the divine spaces I have discovered while becoming a woman. They speak about the death of innocence and of what comes after. These photographs are a window into this space and a witness to the rituals of young women.
