Believing is Seeing
By Elizabeth Moran
Artist: Elizabeth Moran
Location: Memphis, Tennessee
Project: Record of Cherry Road
Description: “Do we simply see what we believe or do we believe what we see?” This is the question posed by Elizabeth Moran in her series “Record of Cherry Road,” which investigates paranormal activity on her family’s land in Memphis, Tennessee. The project references nineteenth-century “spirit photography” as well as contemporary sightings of supernatural phenomena.
