Rim Fire

In 2013, a hunter's illegal camp fire ignited a forest fire that eventually consumed 257,314 acres of forest land in the Sierra Nevada. Known as the Rim Fire, it was, at the time, one of the largest forest fires in California's recorded history. After the fire, I returned to the forest to photograph the burn. I printed the photos on acetate and embroidered new plant life onto the images as a symbol of mending what had been destroyed.
