About the Item

I have spent seven years photographing visual clues that tell of the beauty, complexity and destruction of South Louisiana. Once formed by sediment deposited by the Mississippi River, this place is now rapidly eroding. Over the past eighty years, the Louisiana coast has lost 2,000 square miles of wetlands in its transition back to open water. When I first saw from a commercial airline flight how surreal and beautiful South Louisiana is from above, it occurred to me to try to tell the story of this changing landscape in a new way with aerial photographs. In my photographs, one can make out varieties of plants, see the weather and seasonal changes - from the shifting high-water line, color temperature, and softness of light, to what is in bloom, and distinguish living cypress trees from those that have been killed by saltwater intrusion, or see the patterns made by wave energy on barrier island beaches. This intimate view of Louisiana from a birds-eye perspective prompts me – and I hope, others – to see and understand its landscape in new ways and to re-examine my relationship to the environment that surrounds me.
