Jim Harrison worked for the Arboretum in 2008, photographing the landscape through four full seasons. After that year, he returned, worked at his own pace,and expanded his perspective. For him, the Arboretum became a living, ever changing laboratory in which to explore the simple but fundamental act of observation. Harrison photographed in rain and snow, at dawn and dusk, even working on days when the beauty of the Arboretum seemed less obvious, or in some cases all too obvious. In time, he also began to see plants in relation to their surroundings. The photographs in this exhibition will encourage viewers to think in new ways about both the place and the process.

Note: For exhibition availability, refer to Hunnewell Visitor Center hours.

Opening Reception: Thursday, August 2, 5:00-7:00pm.
