The Rebel Forest

Landscape-style photograph of trees in a forest on a hill, where leaves can be seen covering the forest floor. The trees in the foreground reach from the bottom of the photograph, past the top of the page, casting shadows on the ground. Further into the background of the image trees can be seen with a variety of color leaves; from green to dark yellow.

Notes

The Rebel Forest is a new chapter in the Geographies of Desire, surveying two tracks of land held in preservation: The Bentley Woods in Victor, New York and the Cathcart Island on Georgian Bay in Ontario, Canada. The Geographies of Desire are a continuing series of photographs documenting observations of the natural world and our presence in these environments. The work maps a progression of walks on land preserved through various forms of land management. These photographs explore our conceptions and idealizations of nature while they reflect the social and political conflicts we face as 196 countries establish a framework to slow the rate of global warming.
