David Luke’s body of work, Invasive, combines photographic imagery of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) with the state’s southern and central prairies. These collaged images visualize imminent transformations to northern Minnesota’s boreal forest due to climate change and invasive species.

Artist David Luke and Dr. Lee Frelich (Director of The University of Minnesota’s Center for Forest Ecology) will co-present at the opening on October 11th. The presentation provides a unique insight into how Dr. Frelich’s research on climate change in Minnesota influenced Luke’s photographic series “Invasive”.
