Resource Extraction and What’s Left Behind is a portfolio of Platinum/Palladium prints that reveals the environmental degradation to the local eco-systems of the west coast caused by clear cutting and monoculture re-plantings. These forest practices amplify climate change, resulting in the extreme weather, wildfires and fauna extinction we see today.
The photographs in the portfolio were taken with a Hasselblad 500cm using Kodak tmax100 film, in locations between northern California, to the border of Canada. Contact printed using Platinum/Palladium emulsion on 100% rag paper with letterpress printed colophon inside a Rives BFK enclosure with letterpress title and Platinum/Palladium image.
