There is a tragic allure to slash piles, a product of clear cuts where waste is dragged together. Although bereft of monetary value to the lumber industry, the stacks still hold potential with an intrinsic beauty and function that can be associated with all wood. Slash piles read as waste while harkening to the forest that once was, but are also signals for future aspirations. Reverence shows the value of timber, as part of an evolving and tenacious system, by using environmental associations for the colour green as a way to consider multiple perspectives of the landscape.
