Between Fire/Smoke

Jane Fulton Alt's recently released book of photographs is based on a "burn" which took place on the prairie at the Ragdale Foundation, an artist retreat on Howard Van Doren Shaw's estate in Lake Forest, Illinois. 
Between Smoke/Fire: The Burn
(A Poem for Jane Fulton Alt)

Photographs 
Majestically moving and meditative. 
A natural phenomenon becoming the riddle of life and death.
Burn the old to prevent the future. Burn the old to insure the future.
Destroy. Devastate. Extinguish. Cleanse. Stimulate. Renew. Reflect.
Bringing with it mixed tears of joy and sadness, celebration and loss.
Holding close still.
Remembering.
Prairie.
You.
Me.
