Marcuse’s densely packed images are... wild and obsessive; despite their obvious, unnatural staging, they feel almost alarmingly out of control. – Vince Aletti, The New Yorker This three-volume triptych traces the arc of Tanya Marcuse’s work from the iconic trees of Fruitless to the lush, allegorical compositions of Fallen and Woven . In Fruitless , Marcuse repeatedly photographs particular trees from the same vantage point, cataloguing their seasonal transformations. For Fallen , Marcuse uses frozen, decayed fruit from the same trees to depict an ordered paradise becoming wild and untended, a mixture of rot and growth where malevolent as well as beautiful creatures abound. Woven expands Fallen’ s dense arrangements to immersive, 5 x 10-foot tableaux that interweave wildness and order, beauty and terror.
