Hillside

Located at Sabin Hall, 3413 North Downer Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Hillside is a subtle play of light, shadow and forms. Almost translucent, it is at once fragile and enduring. Groups of aspen clones derived from a single tree's root system emerged after the last ice age, making them a 10,000-year-old single organism.
This is a cropped, distant view of a hillside forest in late fall or early spring. There is no sky or horizon. The vertical pattern of birch and aspen is interrupted by an occasional oak. Diagonal lines of light and shadow define the rising hill beneath the trees. Colors are low-intensity earth tones, black and white.
