In 2014, I started the conceptual seeds for what became a larger project called LandMarked. During this time, I was visiting a family member in Yazoo, a town that is north of Jackson. This is a state where many roads have not been paved for years. The infrastructure of the capital continues to erode. Meanwhile confederate monuments in Jackson remain heavily maintained and never derelict. At this moment, in 2015, I realized that there is a direct relationship between the built environment that exists in monument and memorial landscapes and inequities that exist in other parts of our society.
