Stone, Ghost, Life: A Ghost Residency

Kickstarter Crowdfunding Campaign a Smashing Success!

The campaign for Stone, Ghost, Life is a wrap! Thanks to the incredible support provided by each of you, our 83 backers, we have raised $10,286 through Kickstarter! This gives us the resources we need to craft a truly unique book and to share it with you.

What It’s All About

Set in the famed sculptor Paul Manship’s Gloucester, Massachusetts house just down the street from where I live, and against a backdrop of absences created by the COVID epidemic, Stone, Ghost, Life, explores absence, presence, and ephemeral connection across time and distance. The strange and uncanny photographs that form this book’s core are the result of a remarkable collaborative Ghost Residency pursued by me and the poet Marc Zegans in 2020, one that later expanded to include Dr. Samantha C. Harvey, professor of English at Boise State University.

Stone, Ghost, Life, whose first edition will be limited to 100 beautifully crafted copies, will include thirty-five of my photographs, an introduction by Marc Zegans discussing the ghost residency, and an essay by Dr. Harvey.
