ABOUT THE BOOK

This three-volume triptych traces the arc of Tanya Marcuse's work from the iconic trees of Fruitless to the lush, allegorical compositions of Fallen and Woven. In Fruitless, Marcuse repeatedly photographs particular trees from the same vantage point, cataloguing their seasonal transformations. For Fallen, Marcuse uses frozen, decayed fruit from the same trees to depict an ordered paradise becoming wild and untended, a mixture of rot and growth where malevolent as well as beautiful creatures abound. Woven expands Fallen’s dense arrangements to immersive, 5 x 10-foot tableaux that interweave wildness and order, beauty and terror.

Marcuse and Prose will answer questions from the audience at the end of the talk. This event is free, but registration is required.
