Photographed over the course of five months, the images that comprise The South Pasture depict a season of activity. Of particular interest to Terry Evans were eastern red cedar trees, a potentially invasive species. Evans recounts the long history of tending and neglecting these trees: "The first Indigenous people here would destroy the trees in a controlled burn . . . Once white immigrants settled here and began building fences and houses, that great extensive burning couldn't happen anymore."
