Ghosts in the Forest: The Art of Abandoned Landscapes

Printer-friendly version

Debby Kaspari, a 2011 Bullard Fellow and the Forest's first long-term artist-in-residence, explored themes of land use history and ecological legacies during her 9-month term. Her project involved drawings of historical and ecological artifacts in the process of being overtaken by nature in the reforested landscape of New England. 

Use the map below to explore her work.
