This exhibit opening will coincide with Ellicott City's Flood Commemoration Anniversary, remembering the tragic Flood of 2016 which devastated the town and cost the lives of two people. Patapsco is a body of archival, photographic, and sculptural works anchored by the artist's relationship with the Patapsco River Valley.

Each work is established through its representation of the three towns of Catonsville, Daniels, and Ellicott City, Maryland.
