THE ORCHARD is the photographic study, created in an abstract manner, of an apple orchard in Vermont. Photographed over a two year period, 2020-2022, through all seasons, the images reveal seasonal changes as well as evoke emotional states of the artist and the greater population during a difficult period of time that everyone was experiencing in those years. Photographed with a Mint InstantKon RF70 camera, the images were created in camera and vary in abstraction, multiple exposure, different focus lengths, and changes in color palette. The wide variety of imagery speaks to the many moments of the pandemic cycle and allows the viewer to ponder those complex times and reflect on the feelings expressed such as grief, loss, renewal, and hope as portrayed by the changes of season and annual cycle of the trees.
