Between maple and chestnut

Image not available

Description
"Terri Weifenbach's long-awaited new monograph, 'Between Maple and Chestnut,' is an artist's book about 'anywhere America.' Here, the trees are mature, the grass is green and the sun is out. Likewise the street names are repeated from suburb to suburb across the nation. Therefore, this is home, the beginning of life for many Americans. As with her earlier projects, the artist employs color, shallow focus, a narrow depth of field, and other means to arrive at a place between painting and photography"--Publisher's description.
