Let the Forest Speak is my personal reaction to the experience of extreme change, having moved from Svalbard after living in the high Arctic for seven years, to northwest Washington. I wanted explore l this landscape and understand what this very different location had to say to me about place. My choice was to go into the woods to collect material from the forest floor and turn those into photograms with as little intermediary design and thought as possible. I wanted to find a way of working with the forest and learning what it has to teach me instead of making pieces that about a natural system that I didn’t have a relationship with.
