Leave No Stone Unturned emerges from archival research into Margery Hilton, an alleged witch buried in 1705 in Woodplumpton, Lancashire. Using material from Lancashire Archives and a site visit to her grave, the work reconfigures a found photograph of the granite boulder said to restrain her body beneath the ground. The image focuses on the stone as a marker of control, where burial becomes an act of containment.
