is a constellation of ongoing visual studies of religious sites and communities* around Seattle, Washington, USA. These images reflect my own positionality: caught somewhere between participant and observer as I work to understand my relationship to the divine (in all of its manifestations across time & space) and an involuntary emotional/psychological response to being in the presence of spiritual spaces and iconography. As observers, we approach the practical and social roles of religious institutions and traditions.
In participation, we are linking ourselves to communities and actions derived from apparently inherent principles and a collective unconscious; fundamental aspects of the human condition we seem to be leaving behind in an increasingly digitized, analytic, and individualistic world.
