Millstone Series, $3000

Millstone is a network of trails that runs through the historic granite quarries of central Vermont. The quarries are deep, tranquil pools, opening up like giant eyes in the forest. I visited Millstone often this year, as it was near my home yet felt very out of the ordinary: the man-made pools as artifacts of the past, sitting still amid a moving and growing forest. I never tire of seeing these enormously flat and still bodies of water and how they reflect the forest’s transformations. In a year that has been both very long and very short, I was grateful to capture these moments in time from this place that has given me such solace. 

Gouache Suite comes in handmade engraved clamshell box with museum gloves and artist statement.
