Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. 'A garden has this advantage, that it makes it indifferent where you live. A well-laid garden makes the face of the country of no account; let that be low or high, grand or mean, you have made a beautiful abode worthy of man. ' Thousands of Chicagoans have taken Ralph Waldo Emerson's words to heart, and they have shared their 'beautiful abodes' with photographer Brad Temkin. His' Private Places' offers an intimate glimpse into the personal gardens of Chicago residents, exploring how they carved out these quiet spaces of flora and greenery in the cityscape of concrete and brick. Temkin's camera lens captures the lushness and vibrancy of these backyard gardens, roving over the diverse natural and artificial elements contained in each. His images chronicle how gardens are safe havens for these city dwellers, places where they can read, meditate, relax, and enjoy the experience of working with the soil and its fruits. Temkin notes, 'The small gardens have bits and pieces of the person who owns them; found objects that are dear to them, keepsakes, statues, and personal items that reveal the person behind it. ' The motto of the city of Chicago is 'Urbs in horto, ' a Latin phrase meaning 'city in a garden. ' Temkin's compelling photographs reveal the flip side of the motto--'garden in a city'--as' Private Places' unearths the richly sensual world of the natural tucked away behind the clustered town houses and brick edifices of Chicago's residential neighborhoods.
