Earthworks ('Seen but Never Heard) - Project

P

This will be a short series of photographs that I hope I can fulfil and finish in a quick turnaround. I have so many projects on the go and nowhere near finished, and what with photography being like fishing I sometimes have a hard time catching what I need. I probably need to change lakes for some of them. :)

Anyway, without saying too much, I find these 'earthworks' transfiguring the forest floor to the point where they become almost totemic and to me, a little haunting really; and that's the sole reason for photographing them. More will follow... :)

Paul,

You're a keen and insightful observer with a feel for the passage of time and our own frailty. I like that the, (naturally strong), attention the tree stumps get allocated.

Fascinating happenings, life and death intermingled and a monument that will last for decades and then be gone.

This is a better epitaph that one made of stone, since it is itself subject to a more limited existence.

Asher
