You Empty Yourself

The Ancient Repetitions series is inspired by artist Chanee Vijay’s regard for and fascination with the texture, shape and function of the millennium-old redwood stumps throughout her property in The Sea Ranch, California. Topped with huckleberries, covered in moss and blackened with protective tannins, these stumps—all in various cycles of decay—still thrive and provide for the forest long after their classic tree form exists.
