Colour, Planted in Rows
A tulip field is proof that the Dutch once priced a flower above a house, and you can see their point.
Nowhere else does colour behave like this — saturated, sorted, and striped to the horizon. A tulip field in April looks less like agriculture than like a paint catalogue that escaped and took root.
The photographs here indulge the geometry: rows converging like coloured runways, a canal cutting the pattern, one windmill supervising on the horizon out of habit.
It is impossible to make these images subtle, so we did not try. This is the loudest collection in the journal, and in tulip season, loud is correct.
