Mississippi Valley Loess Plains, The Sky

Every photograph in Mississippi Valley Loess Plains, The Sky is made in trailwork's eco mode, in one ecoregion: the Mississippi Valley Loess Plains, Baton Rouge Terrace. The color cast never changes. The sky does.

Holding all of the photographs to their ecological signature color turns the series into a record of the air above one place: Gulf moisture, winter fog, dust carried from the Sahara, smoke from cane fields. Each image is stamped with its place, time, temperature and moon phase.

The photographs physical form are inlaid in southern pine with red oak and poplar, woods that grow under the same sky they hold.
