Photographed from behind, a damaged angel raises a broken arm toward the sky. The body appears suspended between blessing, warning, and mutation, its eroded wings resembling a changing anatomy.

The Cavalry: Studies at Calvary Cemetery is an ongoing series of medium format photographs made at Calvary Cemetery in Queens, New York, on Ilford Delta 100 film.

The stone figures in these images, Madonnas, angels, pietàs, bear the chemical erosion of the industrial corridor surrounding Newtown Creek, where copper smelting plants operated for more than a century. Immigrant women and girls are buried throughout the cemetery; many were killed by the labor that employed them.

Each print is an extension of the larger Watered project.
