Faith & Flesh
Incarnation (2025)
Faith & Flesh is an ongoing photographic project exploring the relationship between Christianity, sexuality, and the body. Rooted in my Southern evangelical upbringing, the work examines how the modern Christian sexual ethic was created and the lasting effects it has had on those who experienced it.
Drawing from the visual language of evangelical Christianity, purity culture, and abstinence campaigns, I am interested in how ideas about the body, sex, desire, and morality were communicated and reinforced through images and material culture.
Working across photography, video, and installation, Faith & Flesh uses the body to question these inherited ideas and consider what remains after them.
Purity Culture: An Apéritif
A 14-minute moving-image work composed of archival fragments from sermons, documentaries, news broadcasts, and religious media connected to American evangelical purity culture. Edited together through rhythm and juxtaposition, the film looks at how ideas about sex, desire, morality, and the body were communicated to a generation of young Christians.
The film serves as an entry point into Faith & Flesh, bringing together the images and language that shaped my own early understanding of sexuality and Christianity. Rather than explaining or interpreting this material, the work allows viewers to experience it as it was presented: repeated, emotional, persuasive, and deeply intertwined with faith.
Presented alongside the photographic work, the film provides context for the world that Faith & Flesh is examining.

“Works of the Flesh” - First Edition Zine
This first edition zine features 12 selected images from Works of the Flesh, each paired with intentional reflection questions.
Rather than offering answers, the publication invites pause. The questions are designed to slow the viewing process and create space for deeper consideration, of the body, of belief, of what we’ve inherited and what we might choose to reclaim.
Printed in a small run on uncoated paper, the zine is meant to be written in. It can function as a mini journal, a place to respond, reflect, and track your own thoughts as you move through the work.
Part artwork, part prompt, this edition is designed to be engaged with, not just viewed.
En Corps: Joint Exposition with Taylor Prinsen
Paris, March , 2026
Presented in Paris, EN CORPS is a joint exhibition with Taylor Prinsen, bringing together two photographic projects shaped by our shared experience of growing up in conservative environments in the American South.
Installed together, the works place the body in conversation with the systems that have shaped how it is seen, understood, and experienced. Through different approaches, both projects explore what happens when that context shifts when the body moves outside of performance, expectation, or control.
This exhibition marks an early public presentation of Faith & Flesh, continuing its development while opening the work into dialogue with another practice.
