Cig Harvey : Gardening at Night Hardback
by Harvey
Hardback
Description
Gardening at Night is an exploration of home, family, nature, and time.
Its predecessor, You Look at Me Like an Emergency, captured journeys in finding and defining home, while Gardening at Night denotes settling into ones landscape, and creating life where you are.
The narrative throughout has a delicious element of magical realism the viewer is left with the feeling of waking within a dream.
On the other hand there is familiarity in what she evokes something primal and instinctual that points to each persons connection to nature.
Seasons figure prominently as metaphors for the cycle of life, and interplays between shadow and light underscore the work.
Each photograph and written vignette offers a tactile experience of things that ordinarily seem intangible the secret life of birds, of barren winter trees, of the lake in spring time, or the girl in the window whose house you pass every day.
The jewel-toned images are arresting and weighted, but punctuated, as always by Cigs characteristic whimsical style.
