The woman precariously walking out to the river on the fallen tree is the artist’s wife.Description
In this intimate, poetic glimpse of the daily lives of his family and friends, Matt Eich uses lighting, color, and point of view to transform a mundane occurrence and setting into a magical moment. He encourages us to delight in the senses and enjoy the engaging mystery of exploration and discovery. Beware of the photograph’s beauty. Joy is present, but even in moments of bright sunlight, equilibrium is fragile.- Matt Eich and Tyler Mitchell: Sunlight, Shadow, and A Rainbow. The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH (organizer) (July 3-November 6, 2022).
