Resource Extraction and What's Left Behind
Resource Extraction and What’s Left Behind is a portfolio of Platinum/Palladium prints that reveals the environmental degradation to the local eco-systems of the west coast caused by clear cutting and monoculture re-plantings. These forest practices amplify climate change, resulting in the extreme weather, wildfires and fauna extinction we see today. The photographs in the portfolio were taken with a Hasselblad 500cm using Kodak tmax100 film, in locations between northern California, to the border of Canada.
