3 SISTERS SERIES

Part I | Lost myth

I wrote a myth based on the geographical facts about the Three Sister Volcanoes of the Oregon Cascade Range. This project focuses on the oral tradition of storytelling of stories of the land that is disappearing in many regions throughout the United States, and moving towards the elimination of Indigenous stories. This work was produced at Caldera Arts Center in Sisters, OR.

Part II | Sustainable

SustainABLE, which references indigenous stories from both North and South Americas of the Three Sisters: Corn, Squash, and Beans. I worked with organic farmers throughout the North Carolina tri-county area while an Artist-in-Residence at Elsewhere Living Museum in Greensboro. To conclude the project there was a reading of the story, screening of the video, and communal Three Sisters Dinner.

Part III | Dreamtime: Stolen dreams

Dreamtime was produced at Bilpin International Grounds for Creative Initiatives in New South Wales Australia. This story will reference the Australian aboriginal Dreamtime story of the Three Sisters of Echo Point among the Blue Mountains in Katoomba. This work documents the Three Sister range in complete form before it shifted due to erosion, leaving two to stand by their fallen sister.
