Yossi Milo is pleased to announce Sarah Anne Johnson’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, A Mountain and a Forest, in the Weast gallery and viewing room. The show will be on view through Saturday, April 26, 2025.
Sarah Anne Johnson explores the natural world through sensation and perception, and centers depictions of these internal experiences in a multimedia record across varied series that span photography, video, and sculpture. In A Mountain and a Forest, Johnson continues to innovate on the approach of her ongoing series Woodland, in which the artist alters photographs of the wilderness through digital color, oil paint, metal leaf, and holographic tape, among other media. Through these invented hues and textures, Johnson translates her wonder at the landscape into the visual realm and creates artworks that capture more than what can be seen through the camera alone.
A Mountain and a Forest presents two new bodies of work by Johnson: Cedar Forest, a vibrant series that grows out of Woodland; and Mountain, which presents altered photographs of a remembered wilderness excursion in hand-sculpted frames. Together, these series locate humanity’s place within Johnson’s vision of the North American wilderness and pay homage to the splendor of Canada’s Western frontier.
