THE MOUND PROJECT is a mixed media installation and photographic project focused on present day sites where ancient Native burial mounds and earthworks once stood. In Detroit, where one lone mound remains, hundreds were ransacked and leveled by pot-hunters, grave robbers, farmers, and developers. Some of the largest conical mounds were documented at over 60 feet tall and 300 feet across - demolished before the idea of anthropology existed. In their places now sit factories, neighborhoods, and parks, as well as vacant lots, brown-fields, and blight-ridden streets - but evidence of this ancient past is virtually non-existent.
