About This Exhibition
This work, in progress as you see it, at first came to mind in the late 1980s when Green first saw the vertical panoramas of Jacque Henri Lartigue at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As he’s since learned, there is a deep history of the vertical in Asian art as well as in contemporary work by notable photographers such as Lois Connor and Jungjin Lee. What you see here is his own take on the tall vertical, the beginning of his using it to present these somewhat abstracted landscapes of dark and tangled materials manmade and natural.
