A Studio In The Woods
New Orleans, LA
Inside the levee protection system, seasonal fluctuations of the Mississippi River’s water level are a mystery. This installation traces a line marking the river’s 2017 high water mark in the trees around a pond in the bottomland hardwood forest at A Studio In The Woods – a landscape that once depended on seasonal flooding to sustain its ecology.
