Sneak peek of one piece from a series of 8"x8" risograph collage/ assemblage pieces about my experiences while hiking in the Cherokee Marsh.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I often walk the same series of paths in the same way. This is a gift that has imparted awareness of subtle differences in the land and inhabitants as the seasons change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This series is deceptively simple but has layered complexity of multiple encounters and memories which are hard to bring into sharp focus after the moments have passed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This piece is a tribute to the Compass plant scientific name Silphium laciniatum. These plants have more lengthy roots below ground than the reach of the plant above ground. Seeing these bastions of insect biodiversity is a great signal of the health of the land. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
