pines grow pulling the old dreams through the soil pinesap climbing into its limbs lifting a ladder like solitude

This piece comes from the series Jasper, inspired by the life and work of the poet and land surveyor, Frank Stanford, with photographs of hermetic homes and men living in solitude taken in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas and Missouri.

By capturing the foggy landscapes, cluttered interiors, and rugged men that are tucked away in the dark woods, Jasper explores a fascination with running away from the everyday. The work bounces between fact and fiction, exhibiting the reality and myth of what it means to be truly apart from society.

Archival pigment prints use refined pigment particles to create exquisite, high-resolution artwork. This printing method creates museum-quality artwork designed to last; ink and paper are critical elements in an archival pigment print’s life span.
