Robert Adams: Questions For An Overcast Day

Robert Adams: Questions For An Overcast Day at Matthew Marks Gallery. "...Questions for an Overcast Day is a series of 33 photographs of young alder trees growing along the Oregon coastline, near the artist’s home. The series begins by focusing on the branches of the trees, and, progressing from one image to the next, narrows its focus, culminating with several images of a single leaf.
The leaves on the trees appear perforated, the precise cause of which is unknown. The artist likens the particular pattern of erosion on each leaf to hieroglyphics, reading in them a unique 'calligraphy of disaster.'"
