Developed music for site-specific work in collaboration with choreographer Teresa Fellion and dance company at natural quarry in Newport, RI. Incorporated elements of Gregorian Chant, Dvorak's 9th Symphony, modal improvisation, strings and percussion, while playing with reverberant echo and acoustics of the quarry.
'“Goin’ home, goin’ home,” the musicians sang. All together, the religious or spiritual allusion to returning to a better place after this life was clear. The piece showed us the power of life in our body, and the blessings waiting for us as they move from this Earth' –Kathryn Boland, Dance Informa
Founded in the 1830s and developed during the mid-19th Century as a major port for riverboats, Cairo was once considered to be one of the most important sites for urban settlement in the United States, due to its location at the confluence of the Mississippi River and Ohio River, which are the two main branches, by volume, of the longest navigable inland waterway system on the North American continent. The city grew rapidly during the early decades, but due to the city’s late start in development due to its flood-prone location and issues with land companies, the increase in importance of railroads, and various other economic factors, the city never reached the lofty ambitions that its founders and early residents envisioned. Nevertheless, by the time of the US Civil War, the city was a major river port, and became home to Fort Defiance, a United States Army fortification, which was located south of the city proper at the present site of Fort Defiance State Park. After the Civil War, the city continued to grow, eventually becoming a regional center with a population of over 15,000 by the 1920s, boasting a significant business district along Washington Avenue, Commercial Avenue, and the side streets between them, with theaters, hotels, restaurants, shops, department stores, and other amenities that drew in residents of surrounding towns and rural areas.
However, after World War II, racial tensions began to mount in the city, which had a high degree of racial segregation, and in the 1960s, these tensions exploded into violence between the city’s White population, which owned most of the businesses and property in town, in addition to holding disproportionate political power in Cairo and Alexander County, and the long-neglected Black community, whom lived in substandard housing and were not allowed to patronize many of the town’s White-owned businesses. Riots broke out in 1967 in response to the mysterious death of Robert Hunt, a Black man, while in police custody, and again in in the summer of 1969, when the White Hats, deputized White private citizens, clashed violently with the Cairo United Front, whom represented the city’s Black community, demanding equal treatment and equal rights. In 1970, activists picketed outside White-owned businesses, which were boycotted by the city’s Black population, leading to the demise of much of the town’s remaining commercial enterprises, with White business owners often electing to close up shop and move elsewhere. In the wake of the unrest, and due in part to other economic and social factors, most of the town’s businesses closed, with economic activity shifting to other towns and cities in the region, leaving the downtown area a fading relic of a bygone era.
Today, the town has shrunk to 1,500 people, with vacant grassy lots and rubble from long-demolished buildings lining many of the streets, including the formerly bustling Commercial Avenue and Washington Avenue. Cairo is a ghost town on the river, and despite its important location, has been forgotten. Fort Defiance State Park reflects this in its present condition, with dilapidated facilities, and an overall lack of visitor amenities, which is, in part, due to the state of Illinois giving control of the park to the struggling city of Cairo in the 1990s, which lacked the resources to properly steward it. The state regained control of the park in 2014, but it seemingly has been overlooked, and very little has been done to significantly improve the visitor experience. The Mississippi River and Ohio River, which are two of the most significant features of the United States and have massively shaped the country’s history, demographics, and economy, gave rise to many communities along their banks, many of which had aspirations of greatness. However, many, like Cairo, have since faded into obscurity. Today, Cairo’s only claim to fame, besides its sheer level of abandonment and urban decay, is that it sits at the junction of the two largest branches, by water volume, of the Mississippi River system, waters that fed the growth of America’s civilization, industry, and population.
Whilst developing my ‘Antithesis’ project, I explored working three dimensionally by interpreting Richard Serra’s use of curved edges into textile designs. As a result I developed a greater appreciation of the motivation behind his work. Exploring this within the theme of textile design, I utilised the structures in Serra’s work to create striking prints. During the construction of this piece I also used tea stains to imitate the rust in Serra’s metal designs.

Developing Convictions
Scriptures: Jeremiah 17:5-8
An acorn needs nutrients and time to grow into a tall, sturdy oak tree. Likewise, men and women of conviction develop gradually through committed Bible study and prayer. Ready to get planted firmly in biblical truth? Here’s how:
Make a list of issues for which you need to form a conviction. Here are questions to help you get started: Do you consider the Bible true and trustworthy? Do you think that believing in Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved? What is the Holy Spirit’s role in the lives of believers and unbelievers? Are we to forgive others in every situation? How should Christians approach finances? What’s your purpose in life? What is your role in the church and at work? How should you think and act regarding social issues like capital punishment, abortion, and racism?
It is my hope that these questions will open the eyes of those who haven’t contemplated how their personal philosophies have developed. It’s time to change that. Study the Bible and make God’s Word the cornerstone of your thinking. A concordance will point you to scriptures that relate to the above topics. Evaluate what the Bible says rather than looking at an issue through the lens of personal preference. Ask, What does God say? rather than What does this mean to me?
Once you know what God says, you have a choice to make: Believe Him and commit to living according to your conviction, or continue being tossed by waves of doubt and indecision (James 1:6). Root yourself in God’s Word and be called one of His oaks of righteousness (Isaiah 61:3).

Once dry and barren, the hillside farms of Taluwa are now green and thriving.
Through training on alternative farming techniques and efficient water use, the DCRL project demonstrated how technical interventions can dismantle gender and caste barriers, fostering equity and leadership opportunities for women and marginalized groups.
