Night Coming Tenderly, Black is a visual reimagining of the landscape through which fugitive slaves moved across the Cleveland and Hudson, Ohio landscapes as they made their way towards Lake Erie and the final fifty-mile passage to freedom  to Canada. Using both real and imagined sites, these photographs seek to approximate the spatial and sensory experience of those moving furtively through the darkness, and the landscapes they encountered.
