Her show includes twelve zip codes to represent a cross-section of Dallas. Mrs. Neel-Bagley carefully chose the tree remnants from each location that are the basis of her new work. Utilizing photography, printmaking, scientific tools, and methods these discarded specimens give us a glimpse into the plant’s magnificent universe.
