Seasonal Change

Inspiration for Seasonal Change

I live in Virginia, where we experience four distinct visual seasons. The Dogwood is our state tree. Between 2009 and 2011, I photographed the four dogwoods in our backyard to ground myself during a time of transition.

I observed the limbs that extend as lines into space, framed with a soft background. At the end of the branch, a bud forms, then slowly, a flower blooms, giving way to leaves. The foliage changes color, grows brittle, and falls to the ground. Bare branches remain as new buds appear, and a new cycle begins.

I photograph the tree as I would a person, focusing on the subtle features that make it unique.
