Ghost Rings (Cross Sections)
2013
Plastic Petri-dishes, medium, labels, wood shelf
7x27x3 inches

Installation view, Iceland


There is a saying in Iceland, “the people survived but the forest died”. Fine tree-like rings, almost invisible, skim the surface of Petri dishes making reference to the lost birch forests, cross sections of the lost tree remnants preserved in bogs. At latitudes where trees are not thought to thrive, the landscape of Iceland was at least a third forested at the time of settlement over 1,100 years ago.
