As if in deep sleep
time gathered has grown still
paths of closed and wrinkled leaf,
stick and stone,
sit hushed under muted sky.
Threaded root and pressed earth
fold into one,
under blankets of snow
the mountains lay on their side,
as the night extends its stay 
whispering secrets of tomorrow
of shift, 
shift into new way,
and we remember 
and remember
and we stay.

as if in deep sleep is a series based on the experience of a dormant season in upstate New York. This work was created while on an artist residency in Woodstock, NY at the historical Byrdcliffe Artist Colony during March and April of 2025. The work features photographs shot on a 4x5 film field camera and hand processed.
