Bramble

Photographic installation: silver gelatin photographs, magnets

8' x 9' and growing

2021-ongoing 

 

Bramble is a towering photographic collage that is made up of hundreds of intertwining tree branches. Each individual photo element has been shot on 4x5 film, printed on fibre-based analogue paper, and carefully cut and assembled, in order to create a mass of branches which physically emerge from (as well as merge with) their forest background. The complex layering of the branches results in a strange spatial perplexity – it’s hard to tell what is the foreground, what is the background, and what is in-between. The eye attempts to penetrate the shifting depths of the space -- perhaps a metaphor for eco-anxiety or for our search for a way through the tangles.

 

Thank you to the Winnipeg Arts Council and the University of Manitoba Creative Works program for supporting this project.
