Sepiessa Collection
Fall 2024
Return and Refresh
Sepiessa Point Reservation is a nature preserve on the island of Marthas Vineyard. It is a secluded and beautiful place I’ve gone for long nature walks with my family since I was a little kid. I always feel like my brain gets a reset when I visit these trails, where you can go deep into the forest and also experience amazing views of Tisbury Great Pond.
The busy grind of daily life can wear anyone down if you don’t take a break. There’s no better refresh than spending some quality time in nature with the people you love. This collection honors that sacred period of calm and reset where we set our ambitions aside and just be present.
Originals
In this collection of works I explore the formal qualities of experimental film photography and transpose them onto my watercolor practice. I’m mimicking the aesthetic of blue cyanotype photographs and camera light leaks to emphasize the calm nostalgia of these scenes.
When seen as a series, these compositions comprise an animation of certain key moments along the hiking path that I’ve trodden many times, so that you all can experience this ritual with me.
