ANNE ROWLAND
That tomato in your salad did not appear immaculately. Every agricultural product cultivated through hard work and good luck is a grand victory that also negatively impacts the environment. Anne Rowland's complex photographic engagement with the farmland around her home in rural Virginia springs from an instinctual feeling for nature and the inherent melancholy of our intrusion upon it. In her collection and mending together of visual data, Rowland points to a place in the human brain that desires to commune with and care for the wilderness. Genetic science has not identified the complex ribbon of DNA that gives us an appreciation of nature, and no doubt it will remain elusive for some time. Nevertheless, Rowland's photographs are a testament to its irrepressible existence.
