Witnessing Waves (Alison Price) pays homage to the historic trees along the Mississippi River and the generations they’ve quietly watched live under their branches as the DNA of generations pass on by.
Witnessing Waves
The Mississippi River Gorge and her wealth of heritage trees has always intrigued me. This series pays respect to these gentle witnesses of migration and settlement along our mighty river, these magnificent, steadfast trees. The trees welcome all.
The series is full of symbolism too. Our DNA strands are wrapped in the tangled roots and riverbanks, reminding us of our connections to each other and the planet. The tiny squares, the leaves, were inspired by the mosaics of Ravenna, Italy. The sixth century artists used tiny glass tiles to create extraordinary works of art. I like to think of the squares as opportunities to be shared.
I am inspired by the landscape, geography, history, and culture of places. This series wraps arms around many of my passions.
