Song of Absolution is a collaborative series between artists Joslyn Lawrence and Brian Kuhlmann and was created in response to the ever-changing environment and our own relationship with the landscapes we are connected to disappearing and taking new forms. The intention is to create an archive of this moment in time, honoring the medicine and wisdom of sentient forests that live many centuries beyond our lifetime.
