Photographer Terri Weifenbach finds inspiration in the natural world. From noble trees and elegant flowers to powerful clouds and the twirling acrobatics of birds, her work shows reverence for nature. The interplay of crisp focus and dissolving forms in her poetic pictures illuminate details we can clearly understand while also reminding us nature is filled with mystery and wonder.
Bookmaking has always been central to Weifenbach’s work—throughout her career, she has published over twenty photobooks. She was the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2015 and her photographs have been widely exhibited internationally. Terri Weifenbach was born in New York City, raised in Washington D.C., and now lives and works in France.
This program is presented in connection with our current photography exhibition What We’ve Been Up To: Landscape.
This event is part of the 2024-25 Anderman Photography Lecture Series.
