SERIES II
The Witches investigates the Salem Witch Hysteria through the image of the
Rebecca Nurse house. The house appears to still evoke the horror that Rebecca must have felt when accused
of being a witch. The image is accompanied by a Hysterical Moment as expressed
by the judge during the witch trials.
SERIES III
The Glass Makers investigates the rise and fall of the American Glass Company
through the images of recovered artifacts. Similar to the rise of the 20th century .coms, 19th Century glass technology
sparked a consumer market like never before. The image is accompanied by a Productive Moment as expressed by
the glass company's slogan.
