The Trees Have Souls Gallery Exhibitions

The new exhibition in the Copper Country Community Arts Center’s Kerredge Gallery titled, “The Trees Have Souls” features photography by Copper Harbor artist, Steve Brimm. The exhibition, on display through December 24, brings together images of trees from the artist’s travels to Yellowstone, the coast of North Carolina, and to his own backyard in the Keweenaw. He states, “Putting together this exhibit I was surprised by how many different varieties of trees have graced the front of my lens. Each with its own unique personality – at least to me.” Steve Brimm sees trees as animate beings, “Lying on the forest floor, peering up at their lofty tops I imagine what they may be thinking, or saying to each other.” The artist invites viewers to see his work and explore how the photographs make them feel; to assign to each an emotion or a physical feeling.
