Swamp Tracks
This exhibition is inspired by the woods, jungles, backyards and swamps in and around Metuchen&nbsp;and its environs that hold significance to the artists. Both grew up in town and have spent a significant&nbsp;amount of time photographing and exploring the natural world around them. The physical tracks we&nbsp;(humans &amp; animals) make through the woods, whether it be deer paths or roadways, create runoff&nbsp;pockets where what we traditionally call nature, is redefined to include the debris of our cultural&nbsp;ecology. Backyards, patches of forest, swamps, public parks, parking lots, are all fair game when&nbsp;finding traces of beauty, rhythm and harmony in sometimes unexpected places. The photographs in&nbsp;this exhibition are akin to musical notes, or samples, that when sequenced together form a new track&nbsp;or song; a swamp track.&nbsp;The literal tracks of rail lines and highways have altered the landscape surrounding Metuchen, and&nbsp;the town itself in many many ways. In particular for this exhibition the artists use repetition and close&nbsp;views of the nature to riff on the vibrancy that still exists in this heavily populated and transitory&nbsp;landscape in central New Jersey. Even though there is a diminishing amount of places to experiencethe plurality of nature, there's still some magic and beauty and redemption and wildness in these&nbsp;places, even in our backyards, in the everyday landscape that surrounds us.
