The Mooring Stone Volume 1

$10.00

The first issue of “The Mooring Stone” features photos from my work around the Kensington Runestone. The Kensington Runestone was dug up in a field in western Minnesota in 1889, and it tells a dubious story of vikings coming to Minnesota in the 1300’s. “The Mooring Stone” is read from multiple angles, with competing narratives tracing the edges of the newsprint like the runes on the stone itself. Meant to be puzzled over and turned around, this document braids together stories of runestone copycats, portraits from the prairie, salvaged accounts of the runestone's creation, and staged photographic reenactments into a web of unreliable details. $10 shipped.
