Description"Justine Kurland is best known for photographing subjects in American wilderness landscapes. Influences to her strongly narrative work include nineteenth-century English picturesque landscapes and the utopian ideal as well as genre paintings, photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron and Mathew Brady, and illustrations from fairy tales. Kurland has used staged tableaux to explore the social landscape of girlhood, life on communes and in the wilderness, and traveling on the road with her son, Casper. Here, she photographs Casper in a moment of rest, framed by colorful hydrangeas." (SOURCE: Light Work, Syracuse, NY)
