IN VIVO | the nature of nature
Terri Weifenbach
Terri Weifenbach
Terri Weifenbach planted bird-friendly shrubs and flowers in her back garden in Washington and feeds the birds in the winter and autumn. She receives visits from robins, cardinals and grey juncos, but above all sparrows, whose grace she comprehended during a quiet moment. In this landscaped nature, she zooms in on this commonplace bird, which can be found on most continents and which some people believe to be a courier of souls. Sparrows are said to bring the soul to a newborn baby or carry the soul of the deceased up to heaven.

FROM THE BOOKS 'HUNTER GREEN' AND 'IN YOUR DREAMS'
Terri Weifenbach is a nature photographer who rows against the current. Not interested in distant foreign lands or exotic plant species, she photographs the parks and gardens in the suburbs of her own home town, Washington. In this formalised nature she zooms in on a flower, a leaf or a blade of grass. Because of the minimal depth of field in her photos, often only a small detail of the artificial nature is divulged. But the colourful, out of focus background forces itself on the viewer and becomes as important as the twig in the foreground. At the same time, there is something ominous about the vaguely rendered surroundings.
