American Chestnuts
Each weaving in Arterial Forest depicts a tree from one of the more than 130 species increasingly threatened by human-caused ecological destruction.
I photograph living examples of these trees, from which I create silhouettes to hand-weave on a digital jacquard loom.
The woven trees are portrayed upside-down to resemble lungs, arteries, and roots—all parts of usually invisible, life-enabling circulatory systems.
Woven partially from petrochemical-derived monofilament, the rematerialized trees embody connections between extraction, illness, species loss, and the buildup of plastics in our bodies and ecosystems.
