This work is an investigation into the cyclical nature of time. Where the Pilgrimage works sought of out connections through place across time, these pieces seek out a dialogue across places through time. Specifically, these are composite images that are generated through the fusion of calendar images from the 15th century illuminated manuscript The Hours of Henry the VIII by Jean Poyet with images from the corresponding months in Maine.
By creating these composites, I am able to stake out personal moments within the seasonal cycles of time, and these islands within that larger flow create a constellation of experiences that both connect to the larger world while also asserting its individuality.
