HOW to measure a forest
This collection of works on paper, How to Measure a Forest, was completed between 2109-2022. The exhibition features thirty-five unique works that explore the forest at both the macro and micro scales. Each piece emphasizes the color and texture of the forest, individual species or the collective landscape they share. The work is inspired by the Anthony Timberlands in southern Arkansas, the Ozark Natural Forest, and the densely wooded eight acres where I live in Northwest Arkansas.
