Summerland
A series of archival inkjet prints inspired by my interest in Victorian culture and Spiritualism.
"Summerland is the name given to the afterlife by Andrew Jackson Davis and adopted by most of Spiritualism."
- The Spirit Book: The Encyclopedia of Clairvoyance, Channeling, and Spirit Communication
"The earthbound and depraved souls exist in the lowest two of a series of planes above the surface of the earth, a conception that first appears (in modern times) in the trance dictations of Andrew Jackson Davis. The deceased who open themselves to goodness and spiritual truth move upward to the "Summerland", a paradise created by the thoughts of those living there. They create beauty, guide and rear the souls of deceased children, seek knowledge, and support one another. These positively oriented beings will move upward through further planes as they evolve."
