About the Item
As night falls over the Makgadikgadi Pans, giant trees stand starkly against the horizon. Leafless branches reach for the light. On the opposite side of the sky, Earth’s shadow is rising. True wildness manifests itself in the form of curling black branches in November, silhouetted against an indigo sky.
Time exposures blend the boundaries between the visible and the invisible. There is a middle zone where splendor comes into being, where two different realities mingle and blur. If magic exists anywhere, it is here.
Our relationship to the wild has always played an important role in my work. This series was inspired by two fascinating, scientific studies that connect tree growth with celestial movement and astral cycles.

Beth Moon
Time, memory and nature are the central motifs that underlie the photographic imagery of Beth Moon. Whether she is recording the majestic, sentinel-like trees for the Portraits of Time series; capturing the lives of ravens at the seaside for the Odin’s Cove series; or rendering menacing carnivorous plants in the Savage Garden portfolio, Moon reveals a magical and intuitive appreciation for the earth, while defining our understanding of man's place in the universe. Moon has gained international recognition for her large-scale, richly-toned platinum prints. Since 1999, her work has appeared in more than eighty solo and group exhibitions worldwide, receiving critical acclaim in major fine art publications internationally. Her prints are held in numerous public and private collections, including the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, the Louisiana Art & Science Museum, The Citadelle Art Museum, and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Bolzano, Italy.

Jimmy Nelson (Sevenoaks, Kent, 1967)
started working as a photographer
in 1987. Having spent 10 years at a
Jesuit boarding school in the North
of England, he set off on his own to
traverse the length of Tibet on foot.
The journey lasted a year and upon his
return his unique visual diary, featuring
revealing images of a previously
inaccessible Tibet, was published to
wide international acclaim.
Soon after, he was commissioned to
cover a variety of culturally newsworthy
themes, ranging from the Russian
involvement in Afghanistan and the
ongoing strife between India and
Pakistan in Kashmir to the beginning of
the war in former Yugoslavia.
In early 1994 he and his Dutch wife
produced Literary Portraits...
