...Settlement.” The latter depicts the beginning of a process of development, with just a rectangle of construction interrupting a vast natural landscape. “Hillside Preserve,” in contrast, shows an almost infinite grid of houses and streets punctuated by a large, verdant oasis that rises above the flat expanse of development. Together, the photographs draw attention to the disheartening reality that the environment within the land preserve—now viewed as a rarity amidst suburban sprawl—once constituted the entire landscape. What is so effective about these and MacLean?...
