Mississippi Roots #2

This series is made from photographs of the exposed root systems of toppled trees that line the banks of the Mississippi River near my home in St. Paul.  The roots are washed clean and eroded year after year by flood waters, then dried by in the summer sun, revealing exotic textures, patterns, shapes, and colors.

​

 When combined and mirrored, a single photograph can unveil unusual organic shapes and primordial forms.

The original photograph folds into itself, expands and gives rise to a new composition. 

Otherworldly figures and organisms rise to the surface - as if they have always existed in the life of these trees, and now released.​
