January 18th - April 2th, 2023

The Beginning, In the land around me, is a solo exhibition featuring five individual projects spanning 2020-2023 that converge and center around my own nuclear heritage and expands my exploration and research into the American nuclear experience.  Located in Fort Collins, CO, The Beginning, In the land around me surveys the experiences of Downwinders and creates an environment to discuss our shared pasts and traumas at the hands of nuclear weapons, all that goes into their creation, as well as issues surrounding health, environmentalism, and our current global system of war and peace. 

This exhibition and related programs are brought to you through a partnership between the Center for Fine Art Photography and the Gregory Allicar Museum of Art.

Thank you to our grantors National Endowment for the Arts, Fort Fund, and private donors for making the exhibition possible.
