    BRANCHES (Cambridge and Somerville, Massachusetts, 2021-2023).
    Inquiries with trees.


    When the woodcutter enters the forest
    the trees all murmur
    the handle of the axe is one of us.

    — Aesop



    I live in Somerville, Massachusetts, one of the most densely populated urban areas in New England. Most days during the pandemic I have calmed myself by walking and looking upward toward the trees.

    BRANCHES is an ongoing composite of tree data collected with a variety of camera devices during my morning walks. Each file is built inside Photoshop from composite parts. Dimensions are variable to 40inch widths.

    Inside the urban environment it is sometimes difficult to feel the expanse of the forest. BRANCHES is my way of reweaving an imaginary canopy.

    Somerville, Massachusetts, United States

    I use computers to question some of the things I make with cameras. I believe in photography’s ability to touch truth, but less so in our placing of importance on it having some kind of indexical relationship to what’s “real.” PUBLIC AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston The Library of Congress, Washington, DC The George Eastman Museum, Rochester, New York The Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago Transformer Station, Cleveland, Ohio The Collection of Fred and Laura Bidwell The Ruttenberg Arts Foundation, Chicago The Friends of Photography, San Francisco The Decordova Museum and Sculpture Park, Lincoln, MA Light Work, Syracuse, NY Princeton University FLAK Photo Collection The Polaroid Collection The Museum of New Art The Peter C.
