Species-Facies Study (sic)

This text study is a poetic extrapolation/meditation of the species, sites, processes and histories suggested by Metafossil (Pinus: radiata, ponderosa, balfouriana). Species-Facies Study (sic), is typically exhibited in conjunction with Metafossil... A 4:00 minute, single-channel video, Metafossil (Metabolism and Mortality), 1995, documenting the collection of pine boughs at sites in California and the GPA 1992 installation, was shown with Species-Facies Study (sic) in several exhibitions.
