Three Images

The three pictures by Jeff Wall are examples of the less dramatic, less obviously cinematographic aspects of his work. In fact, they seem like details lifted out of the background from another picture, not even important enough to be called close ups. 'A sapling supported by a post' (2000), 'Clipped Branches, east cordova St. Vancouver' (1999) and 'Peas and Sauce' (1999) are quiet celebrations of the simplicity and vitality of a humbled nature.
