From the installation, State of the Forest. A selection of original burned tree paintings were digitally transferred to fabric in three layers: a printed transparent silk organza, a printed solid layer and a plain black layer. The fabric is shaped to fit the contour of the trees and suspended in sets from the ceiling. Many have stories written by wildland firefighter and author, Lorena Williams printed on the black layer.
The original paintings are from burned trees all over western North America from many different forest fires. In this way they represent all fires. Many are shown in the Burnscape section of this site. By using fabric to represent this grove, I convey that the forests we take as permanent are in fact fragile.
