Green Grass


This photograph, a take-no-prisoners application of texture as subject, is mesmerizing and evocative as forms and patterns slip in and out of visibility, with depth and scale infinitely elusive. At the same time, however, it pokes fun at the themes of "green" and the "environmental movement" by taking them literally and going entirely over-the-top, while simultaneously suggesting that the "green" movement is just as thematically slippery, as arguments and motives of elusive scale and depth deny attempts to characterize the meaning of the environmental crisis as a whole.
