burnt 01 by troy moth | $20 at mammoth
ordering this print, can’t wait to get it. kind of amazing that something this beautiful is a charred piece of wood. and the rest of the series just as beautiful, check it out here.
I’ve always been fascinated by fire: I find I can reach my greatest inner peace when sitting near a campfire. But it’s the morning after a night outdoors, when I return to the charred remains of what had previously been a bright and welcoming light, that I’m most curious about. To me, the pieces lying there, burnt and alone and dead on the ground, hold stories — each piece with its own unique and tiny narrative.
I decided to start gathering those remains to see if by documenting them I could find a way to convey that same impression to a viewer. I’m calling the result Burnt, and I guess you could say Burnt Piece - 01 is kind of the linchpin to the series — my favorite piece from the study.
