Below the Glines Canyon Dam on the Upper Elwah River, Washington

This project focuses on the tenuous relationship between industries reliant upon natural resources and the communities they support. Forests of the coastal mountains are now a patchwork of logged clearings and burn piles, young timber and occasional pockets of old growth. This image reflects upon how the specific challenges facing the NW stand as a bellwether for a sustainable balance between industry and ecosystem. –Artist statement
