Abstract
The Whirlpool Trails on the south end of the University of Mississippi’s campus are perhaps the most wild place in Oxford. Stepping off of the main trail leads to a startlingly wide variety of landscapes, given the trail’s small footprint. A bamboo grove hides behind kudzu covered trees, red clay paths pounded by the more adventurous runners are surrounded by wild grasses and scrubby brush. A grove of pines so tall and spindly they should not be able to hold themselves open up into a clearing with a glassy pond. Through this series, I hope to transport the viewer into the most hidden and untamed parts of Oxford.
