Shadowy Bush was produced by Nancy Holt as a composite digital print, in an edition of twenty, for the International Sculpture Center, publisher of Sculpture magazine who published an interview with Holt by Joan Marter the year this photographic work was made. The image was taken at Holt’s home in Galisteo, New Mexico where she lived from 1985 until her passing in 2014In her Oral History recording, artist Harmony Hammond recalls that Holt carefully planned the location of the trees and bushes around her home, paying careful attention to what could be seen through the windows. Reflecting her sustained attention to shadow and light, Shadowy Bush reveals Holt's interest in the particularities of light in the ever-changing New Mexico landscape.
