Leah Demchick’s photo panels show the positive and the negative back to back one ash-blue metaphor of destruction; the other lively variations of green, an effect achieved by multiple stages of coloring. Here the idea that landscape can never be more than a detail of nature is taken literally: jungle, without the clarifying step back, as all-over-structure, finally bursting open and presenting a vista and depth. In her montages, then, the metaphors become visually apparent, linked together in one pictorial idea; the mythology of the jungle is elucidated, as well as its psychology and sensuality. Plants, insects and the human body melt into one another, charging each other with meaning - like photographs of dreams.
