Mr. Lee has shared his garden with me for the past few years. Hidden behind a fence it is a remarkable green space with an abundance of vegetables he cares for. Across the alley way you can see his tall bamboo trees growing from pots on a rooftop. This year he has a squash that at least 6 feet tall. He’s always happy when I come by, opening up the garden and then leaving me to work with my camera.
Chaos, Some Slight Order, and Time
This week, I’ve been working on a series of large photos of chaotic vegetative spaces, these include gardens, woodlands and, as seen below, lots of time in compost piles. Carbon and nitrogen-rich piles, waiting for transformation. The biggest changes are chemical, and not visible to the eye.
