A series of murders were committed in the 1980s in Windham County, CT, colloquially dubbed ‘The Quiet Corner’. The victims were all young women and girls aged 14-26. The assailant was a white man in his mid-twenties. As a child he was physically and emotionally abused by family members on the farm where he grew up in the seemingly serene and quaint town of Brooklyn.

Recognizing my place within this demographic, I began exploring the origins of masculine violence, especially against women. These images explore cycles of abuse, illusions of power and control, and the ubiquitous threat of danger that exists as a result.
