Facing the Inferno, The Wildfire Photography of Kari Greer
Sap In Their Veins, David Paul Bayles
We're now in the midst of yet another record-setting wildfire season. The Prichard Art Gallery has two exhibits that provide the perfect forum around which to structure campus and community discussions. The emotive power of the imagery in "Facing the Inferno" is balanced with factual information about wildfires. The exhibit gives great entre into one of the most immediate and hard to deny repercussions of global warming.
"Sap In Their Veins" takes a nuanced look at forests and the families that work in them. With excerpts from oral histories as well as a series of large-format B&W images as they fall, the exhibit seeks a middle ground between our need for lumber and the ancient forests that nurture our soul.
In 2015 and again in 2018, more than 10 million acres burned in the U.S. The increasing length and severity of fire seasons makes this project timely and important. Scientists comprehend what it means to live in a fire environment, including when to suppress, contain or let fires burn. The goal of these projects are to help propel greater public conversation and understanding of the volatile dynamics impacting our lives.
