Gardening at Night

Gardening at Night is an exploration of home, family, nature, and time. Itâ€™s predecessor, You Look at Me Like an Emergency, captured journeys in finding and defining home, while Gardening at Night denotes settling into oneâ€™s landscape, and creating life where you are.
The narrative throughout has a delicious element of magical realism â€“ the viewer is left with the feeling of waking within a dream. On the other hand there is familiarity in what she evokes â€“ something primal and instinctual that points to each personâ€™s connection to nature. Seasons figure prominently as metaphors for the cycle of life, and interplays between shadow and light underscore the work. Each photograph and written vignette offers a tactile experience of things that ordinarily seem intangible â€“ the secret life of birds, of barren winter trees, of the lake in spring time, or the girl in the window whose house you pass every day. The jewel-toned images are arresting and weighted, but punctuated, as always by Cigâ€™s characteristic whimsical style. The result is an intensely personal collection that captures an experience of the world that is at once otherworldly and yet instantly familiar.
