Remember the deer bed photograph from my friend Abbey's beautiful home?Here's the story behind it: Photographer Katherine Wolkoff followed deer trails in Block Island to photograph deer beds. Apparently, deer press down the vegetation to make a sleeping place where predators won't see them. They never use the same bed twice, but the imprints can last for a few days. Katherine found the experience incredibly emotional, and she chose to make her prints 40x50 inches, almost life size. How moving, don't you agree?

Beautiful and very unique! Congrats to the photographer for her work, so special.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea deer did that (and I live where a week is given for Thanksgiving Break so people can go hunting).

i know, how sweet is that? i love how vulnerable they seem:)
ReplyDeleteThis IS moving. wow. The animal kingdom is so tender & loving (and so vicious and harsh). The photographs are just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOK, Joanna, total n00b question about art/photography purchasing (am I even allowed to own photography if I use words like "n00b"?) - I think those images are amazing and would love to look to see if they're in my price range. I noticed on the gallery's website, prices aren't listed. Is there a specific location to find this information, or in your experience, is it best just to contact the gallery for a price quotation?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!!
Becca
What an awesome discount! And I love that you cover the coolest kinds of topics here, Joanna. Fun stuff :)
ReplyDeleteI love these. my siblings and I used to play in old deer beds in the woods, pretending they were our homes, so these are just beautiful. love the idea of printing them almost life size too.
ReplyDeleteJust back from a great trip to NYC. next trip, all galleries. i'd love to see a cup of jo guide to up and coming artists and the galleries that show them!
ReplyDeleteWow, I never knew that they looked like this. How beautiful and interesting.
ReplyDeleteReally nice post :)
ReplyDeletethis seems like it's just a new york thing, since the linked website doesn't have a check-out. is this true? you can only buy it at the gallery?
ReplyDeleteInteresting--nature is amazing!

So lovely! I'm sharing this post with my mum - her farmhouse in Upstate NY has many deer visitors in the morning and at dusk. It'll inspire her to seek out similar photo opps. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Becca! Love it, but not sure how to buy...
ReplyDeleteWould love one of these for our bedroom! But ditto above, not sure how to buy it?
ReplyDeleteIs there a code to use? I want to buy one!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I really cannot believe how much I love these photos. I mean... deer beds??? Who would've thought right??? They are exquisite! Thanks for sharing them!

Please tell me how i can get one! I love it but I am from Boston
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Joanna for providing this opportunity! I have been eying one of these prints for a year now. I am just confused on how to purchase. Do we do it through the Gallery? When you call the gallery, it's a voice message that says they are closed through the summer. Could you let us know how we move forward on pricing and purchasing?
ReplyDeleteThank you! x
I second Jane's statement. Please let us know! Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so interesting about deers... had no idea. These photos are so gorgeous. Who would have thought deer beds could be so beautiful?
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose are strangely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove these! I'm moving October 1st and would love one, how to I buy if I'm not in New York?
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I've always wondered what deer beds looked like, or rather, how they sleep. So intriguing! If I had the extra money right now I would seriously consider getting one of these prints. Thanks, Joanna!
ReplyDeleteHow do we buy?
ReplyDeleteIf your interested please contact Sasha Wolf at info@sashawolf.com or 212.925.0025

ReplyDeletethis is unrelated to the post, but is that a wooden ride-on in this last photo of (presumably) your apartment? Im trying to find a good one for my toddler son for christmas. Where is this one from, if you dont mind my asking?
ReplyDeletethanks!

ReplyDeleteThose look so nice as a big print!
ReplyDeletethese are just beautiful- there is something strangely eerie about them. thanks for sharing joanna!

I can't get these deer bed photos out of my mind. My sisters and I used to find deer beds under trees in the field we played in behind the house I grew up in Maine, so these photos evoke sweet, personal memories for me. Alas, they are out of my price range. Some day. Thanks for sharing them, Joanna.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are beautiful! I grew up on a farm in Australia, and in the paddocks where the cows didn't go, the grass used to grow quite tall. My brother, sister and I used to crawl around in the long grass, making a labyrinthine maze of passages and rooms.
ReplyDeleteThese photos reminded me of the wonderful fun we had in the fog-grass, hiding in the grass and pretending to be tigers in the jungle. Although we have deer in Australia, I'd never heard (or seen) these deer beds. Thanks for sharing these with us!

It's funny how sometimes someone else can make you see something beautiful in the everyday that you'd missed countless times before. That's what just happened to me with these photos. We live out in the country where deer are a daily sighting at certain times of the year, and deer beds like this abound. I never thought much of the deer beds, but now I will!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this nice and descriptive post. Keep on posting these kinds of informative posts in future also.
