The Language of Trees - Beech Folio

Firmly planted at the nexus of our communication with and about the natural world, trees may be able to tell us more about the nature of things than we yet understand. These photographs explore the visual language of the Beech Tree by deconstructing the various components of their expression in ways that can help us begin to see what it is that they are saying. 

Mitigation

The winter of 2020/2021 was an unsettled time, marked by the continuing pandemic and the hopes of a vaccine. Long walks became a source of both mental and physical health for many. For me, the walks were most satisfying when the winter weather was at its most fierce. I blended the photographs I took during these walks with closeup textural images of snow, ice, rock and metal I took concurrently to reflect the disparate qualities of the experience.

Concurrents

In an age of rising oceans and intensifying storms, when waves crash against the seawall in Lynn, Massachusetts during a confluence of strong winds and extreme high tides, the results are as worrisome as they are spectacular.

Carnival Games

The games of a summer carnival, with their formal rules, vibrant colors, and shady come-ons, embody the intensity and hopefulness of youth. The images in this series explore this nostalgic past by abstracting the carnival experience through the stillness and loneliness of the physical spaces.
