She's not there but the stone remains

Lillias Adie was accused of witchcraft in 1704. Dying in custody before she could be burned, she was buried in the liminal place between the high and low tide markers and covered with a heavy stone to prevent her rising again; her position never fixed so the devil could not find her. Photographs showing the movement of the tide over the stone are developed without fixer, themselves in a continual state of flux. A series of concrete stones etched with text from the Malleus Maleficarum (the second most reprinted book in the 15-17th centuries) are interweaved with excerpts from Lillias Adie’s trial records, a constructed fiction that came to resemble truth. While the images are fleeting, the text remains eternal.
