I often photograph the same tree from the same vantage point in different seasons and years. I am riveted by the stunning transformations these trees undergo through the seasons, and the portrait-like individuality of each tree. Yet, I am also photographing these orchards because they are in danger of vanishing as the landscape of the region becomes more and more developed and open spaces and agricultural land diminishes. Most of these trees stand on land that is currently for sale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416100948-47QQMOW2HH05NNYXDT13/Marcuse_1_Fruitless.jpg Fruitless Fruitless Nº 1, 2005 platinum/palladium print, 4 3/4 x 3 3/4", pigment print, 50 x 40" Fruitless 2005-2007 Fruitless is composed of photographs of fruit trees in the Hudson Valley region in New York State near where I live.

lush with rot and overabundance. The uneaten fruit of the tree lies decaying on the ground and floats down streams. I try to create photographs perched between decay and new life, randomness and order, flatness and depth, the natural and the fantastical. I collect the fruit from beneath trees in nearby orchards, freezing them to preserve the spectacle of their decay. I frequently work on a single photograph for days, or weeks, building up collected plant material, weaving together dead leaves and spring blossoms, adding insects and small creatures to create a tapestry-like density, presenting symbolic patterns of growth and decay in a natural (or perhaps unnatural) landscape.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1489958768067-6WYKQEC677IOB2W9M8FD/Davis_Fallen_Essay_2.jpg Fallen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417139680-KQG4G1RID4O1OBXUNEKW/457_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 457, 2013 44 x 54"   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417173681-ZBHKM7OF00FTNUEJLHQH/89_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº89, 2010 36 x 44" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417216449-ZTDOF5LO83UFYTZK95TF/182_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 182, 2011 36 x 44"   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1489958554212-UX4YT09T7LYJVENLRO8O/Davis_Fallen_Essay.jpg Fallen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417281963-CNHEZ8KZ5Z7JE2JPTK2Q/45_Fallen_folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 45, 2010 22 x 27"     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417313729-K24WF1TXMH4QHLZ0WWD1/484_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 484, 2013 22 x 27"   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417377394-UMYB3MHA2IKUX7A2BI2R/496_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 496, 2013 62 x 77"   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1489958419028-DE3BW0J1OHBN4WFVQTV4/Davis_Fallen_Essay.jpg Fallen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417413620-MOS792GVVPGPMPEA34H8/152_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 152, 2011 44 x 54" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417446414-IQGQZA00EYP4QTXYXT6M/504_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 504, 2013 44 x 54" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417472108-NHVQZKOK6VAMHWM81WAF/318_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 318, 2012 44 x 54" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1489958312120-CI7ZUD6Z9AV23Z0ZR0ZN/Davis_Fallen_Essay.jpg Fallen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417507552-J4XITSOG96QE6CWWRFHB/419_Fallen2_folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 419, 2012 36 x 44" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417536362-PSC075W35X52Q9RBBS4R/129_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 129, 2010 44 x 54" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417572668-EDQ9DNI4QQ0J28RQ3W8L/306_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 306, 2012 44 x 54" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498417618442-E566IO8MT57YDWQTOY8M/549_Fallen_Folio.jpg Fallen Fallen Nº 549, 2014 44 x 54" https://static1.squarespace.com/static/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/511bf5b9e4b057ac416b96df/58cef4f917bffcb09bcd923d/1770413030862/ Fallen http://tanyamarcuse.com/bountiful daily 0.75 2018-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498415951130-I3P5AMCR05QFVJROGDOL/TM_Normal_Plant.jpg Bountiful Normal Plant, 2009 23 x 28" My series “Bountiful” portrays a collection of wax agricultural models housed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. A man named James Lawson made these models in the early decades of the twentieth century. During the summers between 1920 and 1935, Lawson came to stay and work in Geneva, producing extraordinarily meticulous models of fruit, vegetable and other botanical specimens. He even incorporated his own body hair in some of them, for example for the spindly roots of the carrots and radishes.

The models were designed to teach about agriculture using the most lifelike approximations possible.

The so-called ‘Phantom Bodies’ were created to reveal new knowledge of the body, anatomy, childbirth and disease. I also photographed the collection of models at the Josephinum in Vienna (once the Military Surgical-Medical Academy in the 1780’s). These Viennese models were made in Florence at “La Specola.” The two collections are, in theory, identical. Yet, their differences are intriguing --the Italian women have olive complexions and lush brown hair, while the Viennese are pale, blue-eyed and blond, and wear golden circlets. In Wax Bodies I came to see the medium of photography as an analogue to Enlightenment concepts of seeing and understanding the world. Both have the look of truth, with a stranger fiction not far beneath the surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416334203-5ZZ8JFVCOXWDT7OH09ZO/Marcuse_Wax+Bodies_187.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº187, 2007 15 x 18" * * * Wax Bodies 2006-2008 In the summer of 2006, I began photographing wax anatomical models in a small museum in Florence known as “La Specola”–The Royal Museum of Physics and Natural History born at the height of the Enlightenment.

Both have the look of truth, with a stranger fiction not far beneath the surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416366449-L55OSCT2SY6VST9BQOEK/Marcuse_Wax_Bodies_144.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº144, 2007 18 x 15" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416410615-KHCQHX2UBAW3QMXK9IMV/Marcuse_Wax_Bodies_165.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº165, 2007 18 x 15" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416493475-O5AH7VHVJC7PUJYJK6CA/Marcuse_Wax+Bodies_42.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº42, 2006 15 x 18" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416388686-3IOS4QGTXF8Y75O0F277/Marcuse_Wax+Bodies_19.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº19, 2006 15 x 18" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416475793-NQG0S8G2U2BPUD14E9HR/Marcuse_Wax+Bodies_111.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº111, 2006 18 x 15" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1515701629622-3N5S5PQ1UF2918TTM694/36.+Wax+Bodies+71.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº 71 2006 15 x 18" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416556451-4G8FXNQX2ICBWTPDP7JL/Marcuse_Wax+Bodies_204.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº204, 2008 15 x 18" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416430076-HPSOULK8J9SVO1Q0AHSZ/Marcuse_Wax+Bodies_158.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº158, 2007 15 x 18" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416455081-ORD9ZCZ8BWCTFFFR55F8/Marcuse_Wax+Bodies_249.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº249, 2008 15 x 18" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1515701551524-QAYOBZQ56YOGG0IIA6OC/19.+Wax+Bodies+21.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº21 2006 15 x 18" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1515701542928-8BDSDH0IOEXNIS0SSJ8E/18.+Wax+Bodies+26.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº 26 2006 15 x 18" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1498416518952-HX02LVBUG89CABI5435B/Marcuse_Wax+Bodies_40.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº40, 2006 15 x 18" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1515701503544-CRZF3Z03UFTZU6A0WCMX/7.+Wax+Bodies+38.jpg Wax Bodies Wax Bodies Nº41 2008 15 x 18" http://tanyamarcuse.com/undergarments-armor daily 0.75 2018-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1361917113116-PDX83EHYFJZJ1YCWIYIV/Marcuse_UA_grid.jpg Undergarments & Armor Installation view, Undergarments & Armor * * * Undergarments & Armor 2002-2004 With the support of a Guggenheim Fellowship, I traveled to archives and museums in the U.S. and England photographing undergarments, armor, and the museum forms that populate the storerooms-- breastplates, helmets, corsets, bustles, mannequins and dress forms.

Through the medium of photography, in my new series Woven, I imagine myself introducing time and thus mortality, into the lush flora and fauna which make up the millefleurs backgrounds of medieval hunting and falconry tapestries. The 5 x 10 foot photographs sometimes take weeks to compose, and during this process of composition, of collecting, arranging, burning, painting, and transplanting, there is change. Flowers wither, spiders build webs, new shoots emerge, and corpses decay. Influenced both by the Dutch vanitas tradition and the allover graphic compositions of Jackson Pollock, I intend the photographs to be experienced as exquisitely detailed still lives when viewed from up close, but to hold together as a immersive, more abstract composition from further away. As I’m constructing the images, therefore, I consider each object both allegorically and aesthetically, using mice to represent evil, for example, but pokeweed juice to enrich the color palette. Although the pieces are all made on the same wooden frame and printed at the same scale, each photograph incorporates a distinct set of conceptual and visual ideas. Some are densely packed with rotting plant and animal life, and others more open, sprinkled with small brightly colored flowers or verdant moss. What is common to all, is a sense of opulence which verges on excess, a plenty which verges on plunder. In these elaborately artificial tableaux, the inexorable movements of nature are shown forth and growth and decay, beauty and terror, life and death are woven together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1632245635862-PI0VRX2F3SOUW002QPTB/33_Woven_FINAL.jpg Woven Woven Nº 33, 62 x 124” 2019 The ancient Greeks imagined the machinery of fate as three women, weaving the lives of human and gods into an enormous tapestry, killing or giving life by snipping or knotting a thread.

The squid’s black ink spread democratically across Prada ads, wedding announcements, and images of the bereaved after a shooting in a movie theater. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560292190115-QOUV1UTW9N7E4GN1GQDB/8_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 8, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/5d0020d4b7d0520001e7d401/5d0029214dba840001d2ad6b/1560291617780/ INK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560291655701-EN9426FFFBMA4DFCAHPA/1_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 1, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560294080374-WRE4DNVGHZ4O5BJX5JEM/33_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 33, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560292217096-M2JW06X2OANS9RKK53EK/11_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 11, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560292332050-F3YUJ3O4N6P8OP724W4Y/21_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 21, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560292343059-D0445HRRSG12J4S9E0U7/22_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 22, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560292360171-245Z3WOF136F687I45PY/23_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 23, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560292233154-5PETTE1JDGJGNU412MD1/12_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 12, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560293972242-VJH0F45EMU8AWKCV3DHO/25_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 25, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560294009890-4VVC7M8NRREN7O5ZFEUZ/28_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 28, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560292302967-HMAFE1WW9XZM9EOKJNRV/17_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 17, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560294022006-GZ8Q7EJ21B0Z4HZB5JTE/29_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 29, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560294144895-51PQWJBGPD36N2BQ6V36/38_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 38, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560294113444-AUJO8YHV75Q3METE0QTX/36_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 36, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560294098436-NKFJ77NYTWHW8S60EFD1/35_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 35, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560294054067-P0HQ6FYCOALONS2UQ7WK/31_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 31, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560293946406-5S0ZEEIO87GJXVJR9HDN/24_ink.jpg INK INK Nº 24, 7 x 9", 2012 - 2014 http://tanyamarcuse.com/book-of-miracles daily 1.0 2026-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1769313383678-4NOIKCHNJIN2UNB43WN7/10b+info+button.jpg Book of Miracles Nº 6c (Part 1 Kingdom) Book of Miracles 62 x 124” 2022 Tanya Marcuse, began Book of Miracles during the lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic. The project has unfolded against the backdrop of wildfires, extreme temperatures, political and social upheaval, and reflects the increasing strangeness and instability of our world. The project aims to visualize phenomena that defy the laws of nature, using fire, paint, and the staging of fantastical scenes. Marcuse’s primary reference for the project is the 16th-century Augsburg Wunderzeichenbuch (Signs and Wonders, or the Book of Miracles), an illustrated compendium of biblical, astronomical, and apocalyptic wonders and omens. Photography often walks a thin line between fact and fiction, or dwells in a realm where the two cannot be distinguished; Marcuse's work embraces this ambiguity, and invites viewers into an expanded sense of the possible, the believable, and even the real. Book of Miracles consists of three parts done at different scales and employing distinct methods: Part I, Kingdom (62 x 124”), Part I, Kingdom (62 x 124”), consists of large works created on wooden frames using found flora and fauna, enhanced with paint, glitter, and sometimes fire. The artist uses the frame as an amalgam of garden bed, canvas, and diorama, exploring the convergence of ground, sky, and deep sea, as well as the interplay between painting and photography. The elaborate tableaux are photographed from a scaffold in an outdoor studio beneath a vast canopy that acts as an evenly lit lightbox. Part II, Portent (38 x 30.25”), features photographs of fantastical scenes staged by the artist in nearby swamps, rivers, and orchards. Working without digital special effects in all seasons, weathers, and times of day, Marcuse photographs golden snakes entwined around tree branches, mysterious blue fire and blood-red snow, ice-encased apples, and other ‘marvels’ which testify to the presence of the extraordinary within plain sight. Part III, Emblem (9 x 7”), is a series of small-scale, jewel-like photographs inspired by alchemical illustrations and the tradition of Emblem books. Each image carries a sense of ritual and memorial, often evoking altar-like arrangements that blend symbolism with a reverence for the natural world. These intimate works fuse elements of the sacred and the enigmatic, inviting the viewer to contemplate transformation and mortality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1769313383678-4NOIKCHNJIN2UNB43WN7/10b+info+button.jpg Book of Miracles Nº 6c (Part 1 Kingdom) Book of Miracles 62 x 124” 2022 Tanya Marcuse, began Book of Miracles during the lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic.

The project is in conversation with the 16th century Book of Miracles -- a compendium of biblical, astronomical, and apocalyptic miracles. The project aims to visualize phenomena that defy the laws of nature, using fire, paint, and the staging of fantastical scenes. Photography often walks a thin line between fact and fiction, or dwells in a realm where the two cannot be distinguished; my work takes part in this pendulum swing between belief and doubt. Book of Miracles consists of three parts done at different scales and employing distinct methods. Part I, Kingdom, are huge 5 x 10-foot works composed on a wooden frame using found flora and fauna, augmented by paint, glitter and sometimes by fire. I use the frame as part garden bed, part canvas, part diorama-- it allows me to explore the convergence of ground, sky, and deep sea as well as the dialogue between painting and photography. I then photograph the elaborate tableaux from a scaffold. This all takes place in my outdoor studio under a huge canopy that becomes an evenly lit lightbox and where I keep materials collected from the natural world --antlers, bones, skeletons, milkweed, sticks, vines, leaves, flowers that I use to make the work. (My indoor studio has several freezers where I preserve snakes, rodents, birds, frogs and fruit). The larger pieces can take weeks or months to compose, while the smaller works are more immediate. The photographs in Part II, Portent, are comprised of fantastical scenes that I stage in nearby swamps, rivers and orchards. Part III, Emblem, are small, symbolic works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1737655847933-PUGOCTU2D76WYE8XLPGU/11_Kingdom_4_Flat_NEW%2522.jpg Book of Miracles

Miracles 62 x 124” 2021 I began Book of Miracles during the lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic; it has unfolded during wildfires, extreme temperatures, and great political and social upheaval. The project is in conversation with the 16th century Book of Miracles -- a compendium of biblical, astronomical, and apocalyptic miracles. The project aims to visualize phenomena that defy the laws of nature, using fire, paint, and the staging of fantastical scenes. Photography often walks a thin line between fact and fiction, or dwells in a realm where the two cannot be distinguished; my work takes part in this pendulum swing between belief and doubt. Book of Miracles consists of three parts done at different scales and employing distinct methods. Part I, Kingdom, are huge 5 x 10-foot works composed on a wooden frame using found flora and fauna, augmented by paint, glitter and sometimes by fire. I use the frame as part garden bed, part canvas, part diorama-- it allows me to explore the convergence of ground, sky, and deep sea as well as the dialogue between painting and photography. I then photograph the elaborate tableaux from a scaffold. This all takes place in my outdoor studio under a huge canopy that becomes an evenly lit lightbox and where I keep materials collected from the natural world --antlers, bones, skeletons, milkweed, sticks, vines, leaves, flowers that I use to make the work. (My indoor studio has several freezers where I preserve snakes, rodents, birds, frogs and fruit). The larger pieces can take weeks or months to compose, while the smaller works are more immediate. The photographs in Part II, Portent, are comprised of fantastical scenes that I stage in nearby swamps, rivers and orchards. Part III, Emblem, are small, symbolic works. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1692840347727-ZYPBYZOADXZPIE47V2F6/_DSF4035.jpg Book of Miracles Nº 4035, Book of Miracles (Part III Emblem) 9.5 x 7.6”, 2023 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1632100089141-I92W16WT8TLYL5WFPLXO/_DSF3936_.jpg Book of Miracles Nº 3936, Book of Miracles (Part III Emblem) 7.6 x 9.5”, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1652143895404-3XS9VFNCXR33OF222ESK/Info+button.jpg Book of Miracles Nº 6a, Book of Miracles (Part I Kingdom) 62 x 124” 2021 I began this series during the lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic; it has unfolded during wildfires, extreme temperatures, and other climate nightmares.

The title of the project is borrowed from the 16th century Book of Miracles -- a compendium of salvific, biblical, quotidian, astronomical, and apocalyptic miracles. Photography often walks a thin line between fact and fiction, or dwells in a realm where the two cannot be distinguished; the work takes part in this pendulum swing between belief and doubt, ruin, and creation. The works range in scale from immersive 5 x 10’ to 5 x 7”. Part 1 (small works) and part 3 (large works) are made in my outdoor studio under a huge canopy that becomes an evenly lit lightbox and where I keep a collection of materials collected from the natural world --antlers, bones, skeletons, milkweed, sticks, vines, leaves, flowers --along with paints, glue, glitter, and various torches, that I use to make the work. (My indoor studio has several freezers where I preserve snakes, rodents, birds and frogs and fruit). Using these materials, I compose on a wooden frame tilted up at a 45% angle (part garden bed, part canvas, part diorama) and then photograph the creation from a scaffold. The larger pieces can take weeks or months to compose, while the smaller works are more immediate. To achieve the intense level of description I’m after, I shoot the large pieces by taking 30 or 40 close-up pictures of the tableaux and stitch these together in post-production. Part 2 of the series takes place outside the tent studio, where I stage fantastical scenes in swamps, rivers and orchards. Part 4 is comprised of a series of films. I work in all weather conditions and times of day and night to stay connected to the elements, seasons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1632099025222-71ZFP6PGGWZ52GL7JCKL/1_Big_Miracle_FLAT.jpg Book of Miracles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1648746299946-7DIYGKRD33M1IWFXC4Y0/6c_Big_Miracle.jpg Book of Miracles Nº 6c, Book of Miracles (Part I Kingdom) 62 x 124” 2021 http://tanyamarcuse.com/publications daily 0.75 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1361290628888-V7JA8B4YOTQE9HZ2WPE8/Marcuse_U%26A_Book.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1773701937867-UYJIIALI19LIYET3S2U5/Deerbook.webp Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1773701937788-X9HXY51DUWXIXFHNMK0T/deerbook2.webp Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1773701939217-OZK8ZHU9COV11L14DXKV/deerbook3.webp Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1773701939327-4SJS21FXO9MNG5OZBBQ0/deerbook4.webp Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/563bfccf-93ef-46b8-9f8d-65b17e57fa10/Screenshot+2024-09-10+at+6.21.03+PM.png Publications - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/b0c487c6-b2a2-4f32-a4c1-066cf9fcf059/Screenshot+2024-09-10+at+6.18.19+PM.png Publications - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1625433292180-09MGNT7K4GH3J7X3138H/Cover_INK_IMG_5168.jpg Publications - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1625433313936-GYYXKES0WZLQRC4TF06Y/IMG_2338.jpg Publications - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1549034853947-FZJ45SSAH69F994PP1DH/TM+Mock+Up+5.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1549034870306-5V91H0SXHXBJB4M1XGR2/TM+Mock+Up+6.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483732830538-K3QX1IGOV0J4IO0TXZK1/47_tendecompositionsok+copy.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483732847669-5V1W41FDI9VTU8JZE0U6/47_fasciaapertadecompostions+copy.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483737765922-RCU679YN0WCDFMO4MQZF/image-asset.jpeg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483737470807-HEWQZRNMKFQ5F24D4NX6/image-asset.jpeg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483737874372-OVTHYFNNUO6Q5R0LUBCY/image-asset.jpeg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483734886392-KJRY2QGQCFZX8QP8JCL3/Undergarments_COVER+copy.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483737353905-ZJV870ZGVS2RTGSVQ1W5/Slipcover.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483734904621-J1Q6XTNEFZ7SGFNZRKD6/image-asset.jpeg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483735918475-75I1D1L9XVVZV0DV6TOJ/42_Marcuse_Cvr.jpg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483735879994-SJHFAGY6N5WWWKVJXWIV/image-asset.jpeg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483738421462-0TPWJL3VC5R2RQ184E8C/image-asset.jpeg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483738438383-FH1N11XPUZ7OXCNQ56LN/image-asset.jpeg Publications https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483739520748-ODZZRFUXXLRO0E9T2CJQ/image-asset.jpeg Publications http://tanyamarcuse.com/instagram daily 0.75 2016-10-10 http://tanyamarcuse.com/bio-contact daily 0.75 2025-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1499032597262-OL2WXEHWBT1UND1F0U6E/image-asset.jpeg Bio & Contact Tanya Marcuse working in her outdoor studio, 2016.

That’s precisely what Tanya Marcuse offers with her stunning triptych, “Fruitless | Fallen | Woven.” Her work is a mesmerizing exploration of growth, decay, and the intertwining of life and death. In this casual yet enlightening interview, Tanya opens up about her artistic evolution, the personal experiences that shaped her projects, and the intricate process behind her breathtaking tableaux. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/2321356e-c8c4-421d-86b2-c595d922b933/2_Miracle_FINAL_DETAILsm.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out Detail, Nº 2, Book of Miracles (Part I Kingdom) 62 x 124” UV Pigment to Dibond, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/4a51ef09-850e-439f-9da8-9fd8b4910d32/IMG_4789.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out Installation view, Tanya Marcuse: Laws of Nature, Denver Botanic Garden, 2023-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/260a59aa-e450-4acc-831c-6fcd1e011ca9/tanya_timesunion_thumbnail.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out “Marcuse’s foray into photography commenced, as many good stories do, with a twist of fate disguised as a disappointment.” Click on the image to read the interview. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1659028278771-LZTAUE66MGDVVQV48982/Screen+Shot+2022-07-28+at+1.09.35+PM.png Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out “I would say truth in photography is a fiction. I don't really believe in truth in photography. Like the way in which the Enlightenment Truth with a capital T is problematic. It implies an omniscient singularity, I think truth in photography is similarly problematic. I think photography has a staggeringly rich and complex relationship to fact, to description, and to actuality. But the method of creating a photograph, and the zillions of different methods of making a photograph, make it so that I don’t think there is the possibility of any kind of capital T truth in photography. I think it's very important to say that I don't think that is new. It is not because of Photoshop, it is not because of constructed tableaux. Photography, to me, has always been a fiction.” Click on the image to read the interview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1659027769769-5K2L6CS5V0DMZGYWLWTA/IMG_0167-2.jpeg Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out “The repeating patterns, beautifully articulating both shape and color, are precisely what makes these images feel something like tapestries. More than just referencing the appearance of the photographs, the title of the series also reflects their composition. The images are meticulously patched together, utilizing high-end digital technology to create an entirely new understanding of landscape and biology. It is also easy to think of the patterns she creates as functioning metaphorically, that her compositional strategies suggest patterns of time, and that her investigation of Biblical mythology is about history repeating itself, time and again stuck in the same cycle of birth, decay, and rebirth.” — Brian Arnold, C4 Journal Click on the image to read the review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1659027241009-4T6OGZPXV0I46OJ15V8I/Shelter_Island_0031_Group_FINAL_Adjusted_For_websiteif-copie.jpeg Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out Click on the image for the interview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1659147752068-W0IWXNV7CGTOATW167U9/IMG_6506+2.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out Photograph by Rafil Kroll-Zaidi (detail) Click on the image for the interview https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1660087889200-S4Q4LFI99FDO350WO8MY/23_ink_Final.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out © Tanya Marcuse from her new book Ink, published by Fall Line Press. “Marcuse’s images are both alluring and disquieting.

When we stare into the depth of space, we are seeing a tapestry of creation, endurance, and destruction happening all at once, side-by-side and layered. Standing before Marcuse's wide, periphery-swallowing images is like hovering above a zoomed-in view of the overlapping, unending life-and-death cycles of Earth; there's a similar level of overwhelmed detachment as when you try to take in the scope of the universe.” — Rachel Rafferty, Rochester City Newspaper Click on the image to read the article https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1565229028266-X06OIAI7CSUJ3U3IZUA6/DA-0005.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews Diane Arbus, A child crying, N.J. 1967. ©The Estate of Diane Arbus We asked Tanya Marcuse to tell us about a picture that means something to her, and why.

Seesawing between the gorgeous and the grotesque, the work has more in common with Cindy Sherman’s mold and mucus landscapes. Marcuse’s densely packed images are just as wild and obsessive; despite their obvious, unnatural staging, they feel almost alarmingly out of control. Everything here is overripe and swarming. Cicadas, snakes, a bat, and a desiccated frog nestle among dead leaves, along with wrinkled, decaying apples as fleshy and pale as bloated corpses.” -- Vince Aletti, The New Yorker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1659023356724-JFM425ZDLBDA5KOM411F/exposure-mag-review-pic.jpeg Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out Asher Brown Durand, Into the Woods, 1885.

While Marcuse stages the ephemera of nature to enhance their allure, the camera itself stages a survey of the source material, documenting what looks to be death and what looks to be life, like a vulture stalking the dead.” — Michael Johnson, Exposure Magazine Click on the image to read the article https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1565230609094-3F0NAO1ZUZNGL8PCVJ7H/89_Fallen.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews Fallen Nº 89, 36 x 44”, 2010 “There’s something to be said for an impeccable still life, a carefully composed scene of blooming flowers and ripe, luscious food. But there’s a reason that the form’s name in French is nature morte: things that don’t move are either inanimate or dead. A long tradition of beauty springs from the well of decay.” —Jill Steinhauer, Hyperallergic Click on the image to read the review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1565232480160-NQ7AH66ULPEBS1S4YK36/439_Fallen.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews Fallen Nº 439, 44 x 54” 2013 “Marcuse’s photographs are ultimately more conceptual than narrative, and her references tend toward the painterly. Hieronymous Bosch’s triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights casts a long shadow -- there’s even a snake slithering through one of her photographs. The tradition of vanitas paintings comes to mind as well, with overly ripe fruits and half-eaten treats symbolizing the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death.” — Jean Dykstra, Photograph Magazine Click on the image to read the review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1565232665538-BHZCTSA2NMOAB0XVRKN4/182_Fallen.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews Fallen Nº 182, 36 x 44” 2011 “In 'Fallen No. 182' (2011) pomegranates, the ancient symbol of fecundity, lie split open and losing their seeds in a bed of grapes, plums and leaves—the reds, purples and greens reminiscent of Marie Cosindas’s palette, although the scale and subject are quite different.” — William Myers, The Wall Street Journal Click on the image to read the review https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1659110340394-5JP72V7ZMAZUUHJ4JU6F/Woven_Marcuse_Installation_DSC3523046.jpg Recent Reviews and Interviews - Make it stand out “Marcuse’s images find impressionistic beauty in the natural cycles of reuse, where blackened apple husks and thorned vines provide the gestures of intermixed abstraction.” — Loring Knoblauch, Collector Daily Click on the image to read the review http://tanyamarcuse.com/exhibitions daily 0.75 2025-11-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/37dfa6ea-8ed4-4d1d-952a-82903a7c3d00/33_Woven_FINAL.jpg Exhibitions - Make it stand out Woven Nº 33, 62 x 124” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/c2d43a23-5529-4eaa-856c-8b9b262052fc/2025-07_M6_LandscapePhotoRotation_05.jpg Exhibitions - Make it stand out Installation view, Woven Nº 11, in What We’ve Been Up To: Landscape is a unique selection of photographs from the museum's collection that have never been shown to the public.

Given the medium’s unmatched ability to render fine details, flowers and plant life have been a perennial fascination for photographers. Tanya Marcuse and Mitch Epstein use plant imagery to comment on life’s passage from peak bloom to inevitable decay. Today, the natural world continues to provide fertile inspiration to a newer generation of artists, including Martine Gutierrez and Atong Atem, who weave botanicals into expressions of personal identity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/8cdaa97e-8bf7-423a-8181-a0762d9c1062/Tanya-Marcuse-Woven-No-27-2017-Pigment-print-62-x-124-inches.jpg Exhibitions - Make it stand out Pamela Salisbury Gallery is pleased to present Understory: Snakes, Snails, and the Forest Floor*, a site-wide exhibition inspired by the sottobosco paintings of the 17th century.

Interspersing flowers, fruits, plants, and animals at different stages of life, her artworks resemble incredibly detailed still lifes up close, while from afar, they appear like abstract paintings. In an intensive process that often lasts months, Marcuse collects flora and fauna from her surrounding environment and composes and photographs them in intricate tableaux. Marcuse’s works hover between beauty and destruction, landscape and still life, and fact and fiction, inviting viewers to reflect on the laws of nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/629b209c-6c9f-453a-85a4-93ae92470609/Screenshot+2024-03-28+at+12.11.04+PM.png Exhibitions - Make it stand out Merry Alpern | Tanya Marcuse https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/439a8350-9b76-4058-9210-19aa6bdad228/Screen+Shot+2023-11-17+at+2.08.43+PM.jpg Exhibitions - Make it stand out Susie M.

From postcards to giant billboards, they are almost any dimension, but what happens when they are the very same scale as their subject matter? A photo of a bus the size of a bus? An actual-size image of Muhammad Ali’s fist? Actual Size! Photography at Life Scale is a playful yet philosophical exhibition that offers viewers a diverse group of images that all share the same dimension as life itself. Conceived especially for ICP’s unique double-height gallery, it is a rethinking of the fundamental qualities of this perplexing and elastic medium. Image makers of every kind, from fine artists to advertisers, have explored the strange magic that happens when the photograph becomes an uncanny double for the world it depicts. Works by Jeff Wall, Ace Lehner, Laura Letinsky, Kija Lucas, Aspen Mays, Tanya Marcuse, and others share the walls with anonymous posters, magazine spreads, and book covers. In 1946, the renowned writer Jorge Luis Borges described a society that wanted a map of its land so detailed that it eventually covered the land itself. Of course, the map was useless, and the inhabitants took to living on it as it disintegrated. Actual Size! is an homage to Borges’s wild but serious idea, showing us new ways to consider what a photograph is, and what it can be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1642283692944-6SLK89B9WIUE1AZLFG37/Screen+Shot+2022-01-09+at+4.56.24+PM.png Exhibitions - Make it stand out On the Basis of Art: 150 Years of Women at Yale celebrates the vital contributions of generations of Yale-trained women artists to the national and international art scene. Through an exploration of their work, the exhibition charts the history of women at the Yale School of Art (formerly Yale School of the Fine Arts) and traces the ways in which they challenged boundaries of time and circumstance and forged avenues of opportunity— attaining gallery and museum representation, developing relationships with dedicated collectors, and securing professorships and teaching posts in a male-dominated art world. On view at the Yale University Art Gallery from September 10, 2021, through January 9, 2022, the exhibition commemorates two recent milestones: the 50th anniversary of coeducation at Yale College and the 150th anniversary of Yale University’s admittance of its first female students who, flaunting historical precedent, were welcomed to study at the School of the Fine Arts upon its opening in 1869. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1642284001893-4ZQQ312KU521Q60XZ9SH/IMG_7119.jpeg Exhibitions - Make it stand out Nº 2, Book of Miracles 62 x 124” UV pigment direct to dibond, 2021-22 Featuring: Rush Baker IV, Colby Caldwell, Steven Cushner, Stephanie Garon, Franz Jantzen, Mark Kelner, Tanya Marcuse, Renée Stout, and Julie Wolfe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1603073156908-XLCOJOIZOA77EHUQZQZ7/IMG_3131.jpg Exhibitions The portraits featured in this exhibit are drawn from a larger series of photographs by Tanya Marcuse (MFA '90). The project was commissioned by the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library in honor of the university-wide 50 Women at Yale 150 celebration, which aims "to showcase the depth of women's contributions to Yale and to the world, to celebrate women at the university, and to inspire thoughtful conversation about the future of women at Yale and in the larger society." This online exhibit was created to complement the unique installation in the Sterling Library Memorabilia Room. The photographs are presented together with contact sheets and other traces of Marcuse's creative process. Exhibit text and images work together to illuminate Marcuse's process as well as the interpretive nature of the portrait. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1549033847147-1OZL10ZXRXUOCRELCRIK/17_Woven_FINALwebsite.jpg Exhibitions Tanya Marcuse’s latest series of photographs, Woven, expands on her long fascination with cycles of growth and decay in the natural world. Her work features flora and fauna gathered from her immediate surroundings and composed into striking arrangements that suggest the abstract, large-scale paintings of Jackson Pollock with the symbolism of medieval tapestries. Woven presents an enlarged view of the world she constructed in a previous project, Fallen—a space teeming with overripe fruit, insect carcasses, bright blooms, living creatures, and other Boschian delights (and terrors). The Woven photographs are each five feet high and ten feet wide, and their intensely compacted array of plant, animal, and mineral minutiae create visually rich all-over compositions. Each image begins with the artist collecting and arranging on a custom-built structure she designed for the purpose of creating these photographs. Her process is painstaking; in the time it takes to make each photograph, the set becomes a kind of garden or living diorama, changing color and form. The final works provide generous opportunities for up-close visual discovery, while from a distance they emit a powerful, immersive presence. At once bold and delicate, fantastical and believable, these photographs invite the viewer to ponder life and death as intricately interwoven phenomena. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1499009105811-HRZMFWJXZ9DUPMP94BJ7/1.9_Marcuse.jpg Exhibitions The Julie Saul Gallery will feature the first exhibition of Marcuse's newest body of work, Woven, this upcoming fall. The 5 x 10 foot photographs sometimes takes weeks to compose, and during the process of composition, Marcuse considers each object both allegorically and aesthetically, using mice to represent evil, for example, but pokeweed juice to enrich the color palette. Though all made using the same process, each photograph incorporates a distinct set of conceptual and visual ideas. Some are densely packed with rotting plant and animal life, and others more open, sprinkled with small, brightly colored flowers or verdant moss. What is common to all, however, is a sense of opulence which verges on excess, a plenty which verges on plunder. In these elaborately artificial tableaux, the inexorable movements of nature are shown. Growth and decay, beauty and terror, life and death are woven together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483728476944-V5HZKIWAOQSE2C3M34SY/Wax+Bodies+019 Exhibitions This exhibition was co-curated by Esther Massry Gallery director Jeanne Flanagan and Lucy Bowditch, PH.D. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1483728637600-BXGX69354H3RBSET5BLW/28.+Wax+Bodies+111.jpg Exhibitions Phantom Bodies brings together two seminal projects, Undergarments and Armor and Wax Bodies. Both probe unsettling tensions between absence and presence, body and image, past and present. Undergarments and Armor draws together opposing categories – underwear/armor, male/female, hard/soft, armed/disarmed. Wax Bodies present haunting images of 18th century wax anatomical models found in museum collections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1477607779797-D11JQX8067F54NHXPNXV/21_Woven.jpg Exhibitions Nº 21 Woven, 2016 62 x 124" Woven: In Process is composed of the studio prints from Marcuse's latest body of work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1477608467887-DAJLWR1DI1533XR95BOR/download%2B%283%29.jpeg Exhibitions This exhibition featured seven works by photographer Tanya Marcuse including three new acquisitions. It was the first exhibition to showcase three recent bodies of work all taken in the Hudson Valley; Fruitless, black-and-white images of fruit trees captured in different seasons; Fallen, vividly colored images of fallen fruit among carefully arranged plant materials in various states of decay; and Woven, Marcuse’s newest series of large-scale color images of densely packed detritus from the natural world. For Fruitless, Marcuse traveled throughout the region seeking orchards that are in danger of vanishing as the area becomes more developed—many of those she photographed no longer exist. The resulting images depict single trees in the stark landscape bringing attention to both their grandeur and their vulnerability at once. The artist’s more recent works are created in her back yard where she spends days, sometimes weeks, collecting and arranging fruit, plants, insects, animal carcasses, and other materials to create tapestry-like patterns revealing the lush colors and textures of growth, entropy, and decay. The artist states, “I try to create photographs perched between decay and new life, randomness and order, flatness and depth, the natural and the fantastical.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1477608644620-QXRLTDWYAAKK0M4W5POM/image-asset.jpeg Exhibitions Since its invention in the nineteenth century, photography has been used to document plant life and humans’ relationship to nature. Early photographic processes required vast amounts of light during exposure, and subjects were often posed in gardens flooded with sunlight. Both scientists and artists have recorded the beauty of plant structures, watching fiddlehead ferns unfurl and observing flowers as they bloom and decay. For amateur photographers, a photograph could capture a prizewinning flower or the image of a loved one among the splendor of the garden. George Eastman House holds a unique collection of photographs that explore uses of gardens and how humans cultivate the landscapes that surround them. From famous locations such as Versailles to the simplest home vegetable garden, from worlds imagined by artists to food production recorded by journalists, the subjects in this exhibition broaden our understanding of photography and how it has been used to record the cultivated landscape. Spanning the history of photography and photographic processes (daguerreotype to inkjet prints), more than 75 photographers were represented, including Anna Atkins, Hippolyte Bayard, Southworth & Hawes, Eugene Atget, Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston, Lee Friedlander, Stephen Shore, Emmet Gowin, Robert Mapplethorpe, Barbara Norfleet, Mark Klett, Ablardo Morell, Andrew Buurman, Tanya Marcuse, Sharon Core, Ori Gersht, Rachel Sussman, and Brad Temkin. - From the Eastman House press release https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1477609118142-1S7X3VS5X5B327VFH6WU/image-asset.jpeg Exhibitions Wax Bodies Nº 187, 2007 “Phantom Bodies” brings together unique photographs taken in two parts, Undergarments (2002-2004) and Wax Bodies (2006-2008). This exhibit sets out to explore the idea of the absence of the human body in various forms and how different cultures and time periods had different ways of presenting the human body. This exhibition was accompanied by an Artist's talk in the Center for the Arts Hall, as well as a later panel discussion on body, memory, and photography in Russel House. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1499008635879-06WYJY6YK6YLHWT07LZA/1.Install_Fallen.jpg Exhibitions Marcuse’s large-scale landscape/ground images are studies of abundance and decay, fecundity and entropy. Rendered in rich color, her tapestry-like images capture seemingly found views of the forest floor that she constructs over days and weeks using rotting fruits and leaves, along with various blossoms and insects, weaving still lives in a natural environment. Marcuse creates lavish tableaux perched between the plausible and implausible and between the painterly and the photographic. They evoke beauty and sensuality as well as the duality of life and death. Made between 2010 and 2013, the series was shot with a 4” x 5” view camera using film and printed digitally by the artist. Reviews of the exhibition can be found here. http://tanyamarcuse.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2016-11-01 http://tanyamarcuse.com/new-page daily 0.75 2016-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1477957065179-32Y6R4OZMILFDES9DM5V/1.11_Marcuse.jpg New Page - Nº 11 Woven, 2015 62 x 124" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1477957088306-LRG1LO07X7M1FVTQHOVE/11_Detail_1.jpg New Page - Detail, Nº 11 Woven https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1477957132976-F5PWEIP9RL10THE7S71K/11_Detail_2.jpg New Page - Detail, Nº 11 Woven http://tanyamarcuse.com/folio daily 0.75 2019-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379601046-3IFBA7QHLSWPQ7VJ5HJS/38_ink_bfk.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379297559-9LUAV2WVMM3S5809A8Q9/IMG_2758.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379260430-KRWNRKE347UJW1KNR4ED/IMG_2722.JPG Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379283110-ISQZYLM6U8BZLR95Y550/IMG_2721.JPG Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379287389-LO8HW86E38LZZIWGHCY6/IMG_2757.JPG Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379272288-YF56KR7170ATQZZDZUV1/IMG_2756.JPG Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379528840-69CMRUYO4Z7KBUJUDMYL/1_ink_bfk.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379552560-HA2WG1X0MRTMEW2DBZFJ/12_ink_bfk.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379568546-O6TEMU3EYA06QZCZM514/23_ink_bfk.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560379580645-P35S8LF55EFC12OR1G41/31_ink_bfk.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560378019426-XYYQWB8C20KDGHZB8W34/Box_IMG_5078.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560377266259-WHCKX0B2SANAOUAM4PPL/The+Birthday+Club+Title+page+Final+title.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560377106279-F0QJ6JMAKR7CF9QDMCTH/Daly_NegD8-016-16x20-300-FIN_small.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560377106684-WINUP7CGLAC50HMCWWXN/TD%26TW15_2010.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560377102042-C2RQ8C70EUEEG8COH81E/Belanger_Turner+River_2002.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560377099336-7MNPXUP33JOV1I9E6GLL/8_Williams.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560377101888-5WCT1SFNY2QARLD85S9S/129_Fallen_Folio_sm.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560377106071-NVHQJYRU02M9ECLODUFH/berridge_tracie_14x17_FLAT_RAW-Recovered.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560377272484-FBKBDTX45KDU61M05Y9B/The+Birthday+Club+Title+page+Final2.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560380569480-NSYJSSXON4BWT56Y3XQK/63_Fallen.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560383957105-IFP2ZDM48PBQ2L1K96YD/Marcuse_Folio.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560383973092-GX7BFAGFSRZQXJ0Y4MYD/Marcuse_Folio_1.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560380531478-3TCW46DEDF85M49FIKJZ/Marcuse_Folio_5.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560383962384-A8WB60Z24T8E8PI4MV5O/Marcuse_Folio_3.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560384008995-6P59GMUZG619U72Y3ND1/Marcuse_Folio_4.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560383966622-0A7P53LEW67H25KI6X48/Marcuse_Folio_2.jpg Folio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511bea3be4b08c2bf5baad04/1560380551378-GWYUHTDFZCYERLO81328/Marcuse_Folio_7.jpg Folio
