Errors of Possession is a project about the land and people of the United States' rural Northwest.

Errors of Possession is a project about the land and people of the United States' rural Northwest. It offers an ambiguous look into the lives of blue collar Americans and the ways in which agriculture, industry, and humans' pursuit of a fabled American Dream have profoundly altered the country. All of the photos were shot in and around small coastal, farming, and logging towns in Oregon and Washington, leading up to and shortly following the presidential election of 2016. This work was published by Trespasser Books in October 2019.
