PINE is a photographic and music-based project exploring how the transgressive act of tree carving can conjure up sentiments of love, alienation, or even the most basic desire to declare, "I was here. See for yourself." It's a gesture, both cruel and tender, intimate and with deliberate purpose. The photographs connect with that point in one's youth when you are full of raw emotion and want nothing more than to escape into the woods or down by the river to remember the name of a teenage flame or the lyrics from a favorite song.

The exhibit runs Jan. 9 and through Feb. 16. There will be an Artist Talk, Reception, and Book Signing on Feb 16 from 4-7 pm.
