New Prints: Bearing Witness Volume 1
Bearing Witness is the title I chose for a project I began at the beginning of Trump’s second term in office. I kept a field-notes style notebook, in which I recorded what I saw in the natural world around me as well as monitoring the news of our democracy under attack. It was both healing and disturbing to keep up this practice daily, but it was my way of bearing witness to the fragility and beauty of both nature and our political reality.
Often, I found it difficult to choose which bits of the bountiful natural world I wanted to bring attention to in any given period. It was even more difficult to choose which bits of the news to highlight. The juxtaposition is meant to be jarring and thought-provoking.
Each page is packed with information, including the common and Latin names of each species, the date I saw it, and sometimes some notes on the location where I saw it. On the top right are the coordinates of where I was during the period covered; the top left indicates the dates covered, and these vary in length. Also included on each page is the date, source , and authors of the news clips I’ve included.
I followed a few of my own “rules.” I had to “see” or “hear” a species to include it. Wherever possible, I used my own photographs as references for the drawings, but I sometimes had to resort to finding reference images on-line. For the most part, these pages bear witness to the flora and fauna of Albemarle County, Virginia, but I also travelled to Wisconsin and to the UK during the past year. Though the flora and fauna from those pages reflect what I saw in those locations, the news bits stayed focused on what was going in in the U.S. I may have made a few errors in species identification, and for that I apologize.
