For this exhibition the artist draws on her extensive collection of Polaroids produced over many years. Primarily focused on the small events unfolding in forests and gardens, the viewer is invited to enter into an intimate relationship with nature through observation. Emphasizing the singularity of the Polaroid as a discreet object, the work is presented in a variety of forms: framed as triptychs, reproduced as fine prints, and presented salon style in larger arrangements.
Additionally, the artist presents her 60-minute contemplative video piece, Afternoon, which invites the viewer to notice the subtle changes that occur as a beautiful spring afternoon unfolds in real time.
