DIG: Notes on Field and Family
December 12, 2023
West Texas vistas, fossil digs at Big Bend National Park and dramatic specimens from the Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory are all featured in a new book of photographs by Sarah Wilson.
Wilson is the granddaughter of John “Jack” Wilson, who founded the Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory in 1949. In her book, Wilson uses photography to explore family connections and inspiration for her own self-portraits in the style of geologic and anatomical charts.
The book also features an essay by Matthew Brown, the current director of the Vertebrate Paleontology Laboratory.
