Statement
Fell This Land uses the power of myth and storytelling to explore the impact of rural pesticide pollution on the environment and those living within it. With writing, photographs, stories, and familial memory, characters emerge, to question their faith as they come to terms with their cursed condition. This work merges family histories of generational poverty and environmental toxicity with the mythical sentience of the landscape; the work relies on magical realism instead of facts and figures to create a new way of looking at the environmental crisis facing the deep south.
