In Almost Home, Gary Green's photographs depict wounded landscapes and decaying buildings, yet hint at hope and transformation, showcasing the complex beauty in decline.

Wounded landscapes, crumbling buildings, old dusty wigs still displayed in deserted storefront windows. These plats and parcels represent the history of a built environment and its ongoing discourse with nature. There is a strong sense of passage and decline.

Yet along with the photographs of blighted and neglected landscapes is a glimmer of hope and the possibility of transformation. In one picture, a sliver of light scrapes across a backyard lawn casting tangled shadows that land on the clapboard siding of a neighborhood house. In another, the surfaces of the sun-soaked brick and concrete are rendered so precisely as to elevate their significance by pure photographic description. Of course, there are twists and turns all along the way and a multitude of signs that present our world as more complex than any single feeling or photograph.

Almost Home, the third book that Gary Green has created with L'Artiere, continues the photographer's exploration of the medium's possibilities through the poetic landscape of the photobook. The book is printed in tritone on uncoated paper in an edition of 500.
