Artist Statement
My current photographic practice explores the narrative, symbolic and expressive potential of landscape photography. By approaching
landscape in conjunction with investigations in the narrative arts, anthropology, history, art history and religious studies, I aim to move
beyond the decorative and descriptive, making photographs full of conceptual and emotional weight.
In the course of my career, I have lived for ten months in one of the manuscripts libraries of Timbuktu, and walked three of the world’s
most important pilgrimages—in Spain, France, and Japan—travelling over 2500 kilometers by foot. I spent my childhood in Washington DC, Mali and Sierra Leone, where I was born. As a young adult, I spent a significant amount of time in Haiti, Madagascar, Japan,
and Cuba. From an early age, photography became the way I observed, analyzed, and understood the cultures in which I lived.
Documentary photography heavily influenced my early practice. In 2007, I received a Fulbright Grant to live for ten months in
Timbuktu, photographing and researching the city’s ancient Islamic scholarly culture. This work resulted in 333 Saints, a project that
has been published as a bi-lingual book (French/English), exhibited internationally, notably during the landmark exhibition “West
Africa: Word, Symbol, Song” at the British Library, and collected by the US Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Museum of African Art,
and the British Library.
After my work in Timbuktu, I made the most important decision of my career: I became a pilgrim. These walking journeys led to my
transformation as a photographer. My recent work focuses on the interior and emotional meaning of voyage and landscape: Tapestry
and Tangent, Vertigo, and East or West.
In union with my work as a photographer, I am also a book artist and publisher. My love of books led me to found my own imprint,
the Kyoudai Press. I have published photography books and poetry chapbooks, including 333 Saints: A Life of Scholarship in Timbuktu
(2013), Lost Things (2012), and East or West: A Walking Journey Along Shikoku’s 88 Temple Pilgrimage (2014).
My current artistic approach is influenced by Romanticism’s emphasis on a personal and emotional resonance with nature. When
making photographs I work as would a documentary photographer, respecting the integrity of appearances and the root lived experience. My straightforward style embraces the dirt and humor, as well as the marvelous enchantment, of an imperfect reality. As a
photographer, book artist, publisher and pilgrim, I work to renew our understanding of contemporary faith and culture and to restore

the relevance of the past to a rapidly evolving future.
Tapestry and Tangent
“Nature must not win the game, but she cannot lose.”
- C. G. Jung (1875-1961, founder of analytical psychology)
These photographs of the Irish landscape are about a journey of psychic rediscovery. In Ireland, as in most of Western Europe, the land
is a tapestry shaped by the traces of human activity; need and desire, faith and superstition, prejudice and community, they have all
left their mark. Therefore, re-examining this environment is central to a nuanced understanding of ourselves, as well as to a balanced
appreciation of our position in the cosmos. My photographs pinpoint the visible trace of human activity on the landscape, as well as
the insertion of biotic elements into our built environments. In so doing, they restore the relevance of the past and renew our understanding of contemporary faith and culture.

Vertigo
Iceland’s mercurial geography inspires this series of photographs about the impact of a landscape that is constantly shifting. On my first
trip to Iceland in 2013, I came to understand the profound instability of our earth. On this island in the North Atlantic, in minutes, a
mountain can disappear or a valley can become a river of lava. The rapid flux in the weather, the midnight sun and the polar night, all
provoke a feeling of disorientation. The firmament collects in puddles. The marks of human habitation are pervasive and at the same
time little more than a mirage, on the verge of disappearing. From small changes in light, weather, season, and the actions of beast and
man, to enormous tectonic cataclysm, past and future upheaval waits within the stability and stillness of each photograph.
Nonetheless, disorientation can lead to transformation. Nature and human presence, creation and destruction, sun and rain, duality
gradually gives way to a more fluid and protean understanding of the cosmos. In the Norse creation myth, the blood, skin, muscles, hair
and brains of the murdered giant Ymir form the oceans, clouds, plants and soil of the earth. Destiny is cyclical, not finite, and in the
next cycle perhaps our brains will create clouds.

East or West: A Walking Journey Along Shikoku’s 88 Temple Pilgrimage
The following photographs recount a mystical journey as a photographic poem in the form of a book. The images
are studies in luminous detail, reflecting the loneliness, quiet intensity and grace that all true spiritual seekers
come to know.
In September 2010, I set out on an 800-mile walk around the island of Shikoku, Japan. To complete the Shikoku
Ohenro trail pilgrims worship at 88 temples on the island, following a route that loosely traces the life and legends

of the Buddhist saint Kōbō Daishi. During the journey, from time to time, the material world unexpectedly gave
way to an experience of mystical transformation. Shot on film using a Mamiya VII camera, these photographs are
studies in luminous detail that magnify the beauty, humor and grief of life in its inseparable relationship to death.

333 Saints: A Life of Scholarship in Timbuktu
This series of photographs tells a story of discovery: exploring a rich and beautiful African intellectual culture,
that of the ancient manuscript libraries of Timbuktu and the culture of scholarship that created them.
Timbuktu, at the edge of the vast Sahara Desert, was little known in the West—except as a byword for the remote
and exotic—until militant Islamist groups destroyed many of its religious shrines and ancient manuscripts in
2012. This project captures a way of life and learning as it was shortly before the militants overran the city. The

photographs depict a moment in time now almost gone, fading into history. They show a culture of moderate
Islam that is under threat—a deeply rooted, ancient Islamic tradition of tolerance, erudition and faith—and a city
that has built its very identity around scholarship and a love of books and learning.
Project Background:
In 2007, I received a Fulbright Grant to live for ten months in Timbuktu, photographing and researching the city’s
ancient Islamic scholarly culture. This work resulted in the project 333 Saints: A Life of Scholarship in Timbuktu.
Among other honors, photographic prints from this series have been acquired by the US Library of Congress, the
Smithsonian Museum of African Art and the British Library. The work has been exhibited in solo shows in Mali
and the US, as well as in numerous group exhibitions, most notably “West Africa: Word, Symbol, Song” at the
British Library (2015) and “Timbuktu Renaissance” at BOZAR (2014).
