I GO TO LOOK FOR SIGNS OF ME (2020-PRESENT)
I Go to Look for Signs of Me charts an incomplete map, excavating the remains of a past defined by connection to and reliance on the land. With the rapid decline of small farming communities in agricultural strongholds like Vermont, the story of the solitary farmer becomes one of relic, loss and imagination, a haunting memory of a landscape made foreign. Ultimately, I Go to Look for Signs of Me fails us, a broken archive and an incohesive ode.
