Trish Crapo
The Presence of Absence
Tuesday, September 15, 2020 – Wednesday, October 7, 2020
Perhaps you already know how easily the memory of a lost loved one can become a phantom companion. Through photographs, video, and spoken word created at a remote shack in the wild dunes of the Cape Cod National Seashore, Crapo explores whether wind, a clothesline, and a white nightgown can summon someone from the other side.
