The Forest Floor is an observation of the unique ecology and brilliance of the forest understory in Western Washington. Using a flatbed scanner to capture the environmental scenes of the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas, it is a series of large scale photographs that echo the larger systems of the forest through the small moments of the forest floor. The images reveal the activity, importance, and drama of the small while bearing witness to the brilliance of an active forest to celebrate the smallest of natural efforts and champions.
