Traywick Contemporary is pleased to announce Night Garden, a recent series of photographs by New York-based artist and writer Amanda Marchand. Night Garden is a personal narrative about the nature of time and place. While living in Canada to care for her mother in the summer of 2012, Marchand documented her mother's garden at night while she slept. Rather than using a flash, she chose to experiment with moonlight, porch light and lightning, while using a variety of cameras: digital, analogue and pinhole, with exposure times ranging from a few seconds to several hours. Through her exploration of darkness, Marchand discovers the human narrative of the ever-changing garden, and in the process, reveals the capacity of light to illuminate what would otherwise remain unseen.
