deer beds

'Katherine Wolkoff’s show Deer Beds consists of seven pictures made on Block Island, located off the Rhode Island coast.

The pictures are of the imprints made in the grass by sleeping deer. Wolkoff found these deer beds by following the paths

of the deer to the nests where they spent the night. Each time she came upon a bed she felt as if the deer had just departed,

leaving its warm impression on the earth. She was always aware of their proximity. The photographs are at once a physical

reminder of a living breathing animal and an abstract rendering of a field of grass. In this work, Wolkoff continues her

decade-long investigation of the flora and fauna of this small, unique island, where she also photographed the collection

of birds for her previous show, Found.'
