NEVERLAND

This ongoing work is a peripheral glimpse into scenes that make up a collective conscience of the White Mountains and experiences found within the surrounding rural communities. It is both a love-letter to the area and its people and a personal exploration into the meaning of home, memory, and change.

This North Country is as mistful and beautiful as it is complex and alienated. It is grappling with an identity crisis as definable as these mountain rivers or the changing winds- benefitting from while simultaneously falling prey to tourism and the influence of transplants who have benefited from the very migratory trends towards an urban environment that have created the abscence of opportunities in this rural one.

NEVERLAND is a working edit of images from a region that has been a constant throughout my life, and the lives of many others. The work comes about by long drives on back roads, conversations with friends and strangers, and the beauty in the randomness of everyday life.
