“Tree Work” by Photographer Reave Dennison

A selection of new work from photographer and printmaker Reave Dennison. Dennison documents maritime and forestry labour in British Columbia. “Tree Work” presents images taken over the past five years while Dennison worked as a log salvor and arborist. The 29 silver gelatin prints portray the environments, people, culture, and technical craft of labour associated with living in the Pacific Northwest. The project will be on display at Pale Fire (870 East Broadway, Vancouver) starting March 19th. Pale Fire will also release Dennison’s first photography book, Under 60 Tons. Co-designed and co-produced with Information Office, the book features over 90 tritone images that Dennison took while working as a crew member aboard small, versatile tugboats, which are classified as “under 60 gross tons.” Under 60 Tons is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts, British Columbia Arts Council, John & Helen O’Brian, Jane Irwin & Ross Hill, and Claudia Beck. “Tree Work” runs until May 9.
