| Histories of Lenore’s citizens are cut from similar, if not identical templates. They are punctuated by sets of dates and described using simple designations: wife, father, daughter, brother, and achievements are framed by relationships of blood, marriage, or conquest. None of Lenore’s citizens are remembered unfondly, but in the delivery of sentiment, there is a deliberate absence of frivolity. |
A series of excursions intended to document an overlooked present and a past not told, "...but [contained] like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps...", this project is an exploration of the narratives embedded beneath the surface of Ithaca, New York.
