In the autumn of 2009, my mother and I drove from a small town in Montana to the Trinity Nuclear Test Site located within White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The site of the first successful atomic fission detonation, the United States Army opens access to the location only two times a year.

Dressed as Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the charismatic leader of The Manhattan Project, we were searching for trinitite & to pay homage to this potent geography.

Trinity Pilgrimage is a project that laid down the conceptual framework for The Atomic Priesthood Project (APHP), tying Oppenheimer's personal narrative to the culture, materials, hopes, and fears of the contemporary Atomic Age.
