Warm Room: Photographs from Historic Greenhouses

With his portfolio of gelatin silver prints, Peter Moriarty explores the architecture and collections of a series of historic European and American greenhouses. Taken over the course of more than 20 years, Moriarty’s evocative works explore the interactions of familiar architectural forms with the lush, exotic, organic, and often disorienting collections housed within. Moriarty’s treatment of reflected and refracted light, alongside his documentary inquiry into the plants themselves, render his compositions at the same time reminiscent of early-20th century photography, but also wholly innovative.
