Tree, Giardino dei Semplici, Florence, from the series In the Garden

Later this month beloved 20x200 photographer Beth Dow will be showing at Joseph Bellows Gallery in California.

The exhibition will feature a selection of Dow's photographs from her series, In the Garden. The exhibition will be on view from January 23rd through March 7th, 2009. An opening reception will be held on Friday, January 23rd (5-8 pm).

Interested in garden history and historical concepts of paradise, Beth Dow photographed formal English and Italian gardens in her most recent series, In the Garden. For Dow, the shape and mystery of these places not only offer glimpses of the rich traditions of garden making, but also reveal attempts to control and dominate nature. Dow aims for pictures that have a meditative quality to reflect the spiritual urges that inspired the earliest gardens centuries ago.
