In my childhood home hung a small, yellowed pen-and-ink drawing of a rectangular pond. I later learned it was made by my great-uncle, Frederick Holden Buck, during the Great Depression while working at a château in rural France. His years there as a tutor shaped his future career as a translator. Decades later, that drawing led me to the château, where I retraced his steps and found my own. I walked the same grounds and let the rhythms of the place shape my practice. Photography, printmaking, and proto-photographic methods became a way to mirror his labor while blending past and present. Some works were made on site while others were transformed in the darkroom, like the cliché-verre prints reimagining his original drawing. The project revels in how photography can collapse time in a multitude of ways.
