More Information

Callahan values the abstract qualities of the natural environment. In this work the silhouettes of six barren trees rise from the snow against a blankly gray, wintery sky. The spare, ordered trunks of the bottom half of the work give way to lacy, chaotic branches at the top. Pictoral space is flattened; the image becomes graphic rather than documentary.
