Nimueh (triptych)

3-channel, color 16mm to HD video, 5-channel audio

Nimueh is a hybrid 16mm and digital installation that explores the local folklore and mythology surrounding the death of Hallie Latham Illingworth, whose body was found floating in Washington state’s Lake Crescent in 1937 about four years after her murder, remarkably preserved by the lake’s frigid water.

Castalia

Castalia explores the mythology of the murdered woman through landscape of both nature and the body. Compiled with my own 16mm footage and found footage of sexploitation and pornographic films from the 1960s and earlier.
