About the Artwork
A surreal image of a tree house securely anchored to the earth by thick tree roots. The house appear cold and uninhabited, as if the photograph illustrates that that this is what happens to a home after it has been empty for so long; It reverts back to where it originated.
About the Artist
Jerry Uelsmann
Jerry Uelsmann is a photographer and master printer. He stands by the idea that the final image is not restricted to one negative. The photo-manipulation process is time staking and meticulous. To create his intricate images, he could use up to ten enlargers at a time. In 1981, a report by American Photographer ranked him in the top ten collected photographers in America. He spent 14 years at the University of Florida instructing photography and then, accepted a position as a graduate research professor. Uelsmann has won numerous awards including the Guggenheim Fellowship and his work is featured in the permanent collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
