Text Entries
In his series “The Forest,” Rosenthal uses the landscape of the Selkirk Mountains in northeastern Washington as a metaphor for psychological complexity and darkness. Having visited annually since childhood, the artist has a strong connection with this place. Familiar though it may be, in these pictures he imbues the toppled trees, tangles of undergrowth, and jutting pine branches with human qualities as a way of exploring themes of confusion, loss and renewal.
