Last fall, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum presented a new series of works by British artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who use grass as a photographic medium. Ackroyd and Harvey's "photographs" cast in grass are created through a photosynthetic print process. Instead of black and white, the images are shades of green and yellow. Their exhibition, entitled Presence and organized by Gardner Museum Contemporary Curator Pieranna Cavalchini, was part of an artist-in-residence program that enables artists to study the Gardner's preeminent collection and visitors to experience the work of emerging talent and ideas.
