Josephine Halvorson: On the Ground, reviewed in The Brooklyn Rail. On Ground Register: Rake/Chart, Alfred Mac Adam writes:
“… Halvorson extracts from nature and then recontextualizes what she finds. The surface is the context now, so we are no longer anywhere near nature. If we are anywhere, we are in Halvorson’s sensibility, a place unto itself, separate from thought or even feeling. […] With the addition of the color chart—an entirely flat abstraction—she is liberating landscape from the weight of its own tradition, not inserting herself into that tradition but changing the course of it.”
