Beth Moon Black and White Photography
American
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.to

BAOBAB III, Ankoabe
By Beth Moon
Located in Sante Fe, NM
*22x30" editions and 24x36" editions are platinum prints. Editions with a width of 60" or greater are archival pigment prints*
Baobabs are one of Africa’s natural wonders: they can live more than 2,500 years, and their massive, water-storing trunks can grow to more than one hundred feet in circumference. They also serve as a renewable source of food, fiber, and fuel, as well as a focus of spiritual life. But now, suddenly, the largest baobabs are dying off , literally collapsing under their own weight. Scientists believe these ancient giants are being dehydrated by drought and higher temperatures, likely the result of climate change.
Photographer Beth Moon, already responsible for some of the most indelible images of Africa’s oldest and largest baobabs, has undertaken a new photographic pilgrimage to bear witness to this environmental catastrophe and document the baobabs that still survive. In this oversize volume, she presents breathtaking new duotone tree portraits of the baobabs of Madagascar, Senegal, and South Africa. She also recounts her eventful journey to visit these fantastic trees in a moving diaristic text studded with color travel photos.
