Human Nature
This series was made around Lake Ontario in Rochester, NY.
During the pandemic.
When everyone, everywhere, was ordered to stay home.
A time that was either quiet or a living nightmare depending on your circumstances.
The images are of trees.
Trees that shade front yards, trees that frame roads.
Living trees, zombie trees.
Utility poles were once trees too.
Mono-cropped in silent forests.
Green deserts.
Uprooted and stripped.
Dead amongst the living.
Trees and utility poles.
Two wooden bodies.
An electric relationship.
Sometimes still, sometimes dancing, sometimes intertwining.
Eventually, the living trees submit to the pulsing grid.
A passing so slow, it’s mistaken for harmony.
