About the Item

Edition of 5 Carolyn'Monastra's series called "lovely, dark and deep,” excerpted from Robert Frost poem, explores the natural wonders of the wilderness.

It is a darker, enigmatic beauty to which I am drawn -that of the shadowy forests of Hansel and Gretel not the pristine views of Ansel Adams. These long twilit exposures, taken with a large format film camera, exemplify both the seduction and apprehension the woods hold for me during the blue hour. As dusk falls, objects become hazy and sounds amplified. In these dense lush images, punctuated byoverlapping areas of clarity and haziness, the world is a more mystifying but still
