In researching aspects of the Divine Feminine, I learned to my surprise that apparitions of the Virgin Mary had been reported in the continental United States during my lifetime. My initial response to this discovery was to research these sightings and document them in a series of large drawings that formed an installation. Inspired by the response the drawings received, but frustrated that the opportunity to share large-scale installations are so few, I created these books. The accordion format allows the images to be seen as a group, as well as providing me with the opportunity to tell the story as I understand it behind each apparition. Apparitions Among Us consists of four 6-panel accordion books, each revealing the locations and stories behind a selection of contemporary apparitions of the Virgin. One accordion focuses on apparitions of Guadalupe, one on apparitions that have occurred in rural settings, etc.
