Who Controls the Present Controls the Past

The collages in this series combine archival photographs of the Rocky Flats plant with contemporary images of the Rocky Flats wildlife refuge and nearby residential development. Their juxtaposition presents a screen memory of Rocky Flats and explores how control over narrative shapes collective understandings of history and influences decisions that determine our future.
