In David Hartt's photogravures, nuanced gray tones convey a richness and intimacy of their own. Despite the title given to all of the works—"The Garden"—they do not appear to depict manicured or carefully composed and maintained landscapes. Rather, they seem to offer otherwise overlooked, discrete views of plant life in the spaces they inhabit, perhaps not just as a result of having been tended by humans, but in spite of it. At the same time, the activity of gardening is opened up for broader consideration—of what it means to plan, shape and cultivate a plot of earth.
