Orchard Trail

In “Orchard Trail” Michal Greenboim creates photographic diptychs. These photographs were taken as individual images over the years, as daily responses to the world around her, as in a visual journal, and later paired. In examining the photographs she realized that she “had subconsciously been photographing [her] childhood.” She says, “The pictures in front of me held deep memories of curiosity, innocence and wonder. They were my remembrances, wandering in the backyard, exploring moments like the sound of a tree [or] a bird in the sky.” Images were in solo exibitions at The Griffin Museum Of Photogaphy and in Davis Orton Gallery.

The diptychs’ appeal, which is considerable, isn’t about specificity and meaning. It’s emotional evocation and visual complementarity. Greenboim shoots her subjects up close, and those subjects can be as immaterial as raindrops and shadows or as palpable as a coffee cup and leaves. Detail and mood matter most to her, the former inspiring the latter.

Sometimes the pairings are a natural match: snow and a white pillow. Others, like “Tool Box — Purple Jellyfish,” would seem almost antically mismatched — except that they’re not. Through some combination of eye, imagination, and instinct — all right, call it talent — Greenboim makes them work.

The photographs of Orchard Trail are in their essence a mode of language,” says Paula Tognarelli, executive director of the Griffin Museum of Photography. “In each diptych there is an exchange by way of harmonic gesture that conveys the intangibles of thought and experience.”
