Piece description from the artist
This prismatic photograph, titled "Roots of the Quarry," captures a tree bordering the edge of the quarry at Ijams Nature Center in Knoxville, its roots and branches weaving through a vibrant, otherworldly scene. The prismatic effect transforms the natural greens and browns of the forest into a radiant spectrum of blues, purples, yellows, and reds, creating a glowing, almost surreal atmosphere. The interplay of light and color highlights the tree’s intricate structure, making it appear as if it’s rooted in a dreamlike, prismatic landscape. The background, a swirling mix of warm and cool tones, adds depth and a sense of mystery, evoking the rugged beauty of the quarry’s edge.

Brandon Woods (b. 1987, Knoxville, TN, USA) is an interdisciplinary artist who creates his work at the intersection of art, craft, science, and math.

He has received numerous awards and grants for his work, including most recently an American Rescue Plan grant through the combined support of the Arts & Culture Alliance of Knoxville, the City of Knoxville, and the Federal Department of the Treasury to construct a large-scale work based on the James Webb Space Telescope that is now on permanent display in the Emporium in downtown Knoxville.
