Charles March: WOOD LAND
The swirling, abstracted photographs in WOOD LAND, on view from January 21st through February 7th, mark a continuation of the themes and styles established with Nature Translated. Edward Lucie-Smith says, 鈥淚n terms of style, this group of photographs has moved on, and loosened the bonds with the idea of direct representation. Nevertheless, at some half-hidden level, the power of nature still resonates within them. They evoke the times when you step into a landscape, and it makes you hold your breath. This reverence for nature is one of the things that British and American cultures have in common鈥. As March explains, 鈥淚 have always tried to do something to get myself between the camera and the subject 鈥 adding an emotional mystery, a personal interpretation of a feeling for a landscape or a place. These pictures offer an image of a sensibility at grips with the real, where nothing is as yet completely concluded and everything is still in motion.鈥
