Label copy

Frank Gohlke’s “Mount St. Helens” series was made following its eruption in 1980, as a continuation of several projects which focused on natural disasters and human response. Close inspection of these images reveals not only the devastation of the forest but the opportunistic response of the logging industry after the eruption.
