Abstract
This thesis delves into the captivating phenomenon of the Ghost Forests, I focus on the Neskowin Ghost Forest on the Oregon coast and the Copalis Ghost Forest in Washington State. I explore the transformative power of processes, particularly cyanotype printing and etching, which mirror the Ghost Forest's cycle of decay and renewal. Light, sensitivity, and chance encounters play pivotal roles in shaping my narrative, while repetition and reproduction amplify the cyclical nature of memory and transformation. Drawing from theories of abstraction, I navigate the complexities of representation, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world where ambiguity and exploration reign.
