Tree Lined Canal, 2011 - Sally Gall

In her romantic vision of a canal lined with trees, Sally Gall provides an interpretive rather than a literal experience of nature. The unique perspective, open in the foreground then narrowing through the channel, guides the viewer deep into the landscape, contributing to the dreamlike quality created by the clarity of the trees reflected in the water.

Among her many subjects, Gall has photographed landscapes for more than 25 years, emphasizing different aspects of both wilderness and "man-made" nature—gardens, cultivated fields, formal landscaping. Her work is unified by its sensitivity to the abstract forms present in the natural world with a particular feeling for water.
