Brad Temkin + Amy Stein
These Brad Temkin pictures have been on my mind since I ran across them at the MoCP a while back. They have a quirky, colorful allure that makes me long for the backyard comforts I have given up to live in the city. Yet it is somewhat unsettling to consider the ways we link the pruned and decorated lawns and gardens surrounding our homes to our conceptions of what nature is and where it can be found.

Brad Temkin, Hose from the Private Places series - Skokie, IL 2004
Brad Temkin, Chairs & Lilacs from the Private Places series - Chicago, IL 2006
I also ran across this Amy Stein piece. It is a remarkably powerful piece to encounter in person and it brought to mind many similar thoughts about ways humans (try to) place and control nature.
