Book excerpt: "The border of each image includes a text from a long, imaginary lecture by a professor who--even though he sounds convinced--is actually confused about how to understand nature: he drifts between thinking of nature as something to read and nature as an anthropomorphic presence. This work was inspired by Chinese literati landscape painting, a mode of art that used images of nature as a vocabulary rather than as representation of specific landscapes. For these literati, landscape was a metaphor for personal experience: for the confused professor in A Repeated Misunderstanding of Nature, these pictures of the autumnal forests of Maine become a book that defeats reading"--Artist's statement at the Vamp & Tramp Booksellers' website, viewed on January 6, 2015.
