Swallow is an ongoing documentation project that plays with memory and location. The project takes form as something that arrives in your inbox once or twice a month.

By orienting itself through/around location, each chapter of Swallow observes the temporality of things: the beauty there, the pain and passage—the movement. Our relationship we have to our environments, and to ourselves.

A paragraph from The city and her aloneness perhaps best describes Swallow’s origins:

“The city and her aloneness doesn’t feel solvable. Neither does the forest I came from. But in me I find them both taking up residence. I will attempt to document them here. I had forgotten that this was my original intention, for the world to swallow me up and tell me everything. To look outside windows, and have a sense of self, somewhere in the belly of things. I believe this is precisely how this project exists, episodic in nature, fertile and fragile, but in the belly of things—swallowed—as something eaten and yet it eats.”
