Manifest
The Manifest portfolio photographs are images of objects held in various collections throughout the region of central and western New York State. During a visiting faculty appointment at RIT, I became interested in the intersection of various spiritual, social, and philosophical movements associated with the region. These images are representations of objects, documents, and images concerned with the issues of slavery and freedom for African Americans. The prints are pigment inkjet, 22" x 28.5" on 24" x 32" sheets.
