Rootballs are the memorials of the forest. They represent the end of long and largely unwitnessed lives. Lying on its side the rootball reveals an impossibly complicated map attesting to the power of a once great tree. The thick jumbled roots of the exposed bottom are now torn and disconnected from life-giving earth. These pictures are an extension of my interest in the passing of time, particularly in forms which don’t seem to draw attention to themselves.
