The Memory of Nature

“The Memory of Nature XVI”, 2022. Copyright Jim Nickelson. All Rights Reserved.

I’ve excited to announce my newest project, entitled The Memory of Nature. This project is the next iteration of my broader Annals of the Former World project focused on combating climate change. Here is a short description:

In the newest part of this project, entitled The Memory of Nature, I photograph landscapes threatened by climate change and then burn prints of these photographs, creating an entirely new work scarred by the effects of fire, the funeral pyre of the the Anthropocene. Fire was the critical tool in the creation of our current civilization, and its unfettered use will perhaps be its downfall.

Please take a look if you are interested and let me know what you think!
