Wind, water, and molten rock constantly tear apart and resculpt the
natural world we live in, and people have always struggled to
create structures that will permanently establish their existence
on the land. Frank Golhke has committed his camera lens to
documenting that fraught relationship between people and place, and
this retrospective collection of his work by John Rohrbach reveals
how people carve out their living spaces in the face of constant
natural disruption. An acclaimed master of landscape photography,
Golhke explores in "Accommodating Nature" how people configure the
places where they live, work, and commune, both on an everyday
level and in the aftermath of catastrophic destruction. Whether a
ranch house anchored fast on an endless Texas plain, the shattered
buildings and whipped trees left by a category 5 tornado, or the
jagged cliffs of ash and rock created by the volcanic eruption of
Mount St. Helens, the photographs unearth the ways in which new
homes and lives emerge from the fragments of the old.
Thought-provoking essays by Rebecca Solnit, Frank Gohlke, and John
Rohrbach expand upon the issues raised by the images, contemplating
the complexities of human and cultural geography and the
relationships we have with our respective place. An arresting and
vibrant visual essay combining magnificent vistas with intimate
emotional detail, "Accommodating Nature" exposes the intricate
threads that bind our lives to the land surrounding us.
