Jamille Wallick is a visual and performance artist interested in imagining new ways of defining community that includes environment. In her thesis exhibition, Ghost Stories from the Forest, Jamille used wood, grass, and human detritus from ghost forests along the Atlantic coast in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina as well as household trash and recycling. As a coastal forest’s edge becomes saturated with encroaching salt water, the trees begin to die, causing stands of bleached, salinated ghost trees. Rising seas resulting from climate change cause this salt water intrusion. As parts of the forest are dying, marshes are flooding and are forced to migrate inland, and the ghost forests become spaces between life and death, hope and loss.
