Gregory Crewdson: Cathedral of the Pines

"In 2010, I moved out of New York during a dark period. My sense of self, security, confidence and equilibrium had been shaken. I felt displaced. I created a new home and studio in a remote side-by-side church and firehouse in the Berkshires. But whereas picture-making had always ben my compass and the central meaning in my life, during this time, for over three years, I did not make a single picture… Two years passed in this way, until one day I was on a ski trail deep in the Becket woods called Cathedral of the Pines. I found myself overcome with a new feeling: I became aware that the darkness around me was lifting. I felt connected to myself again, felt a desire to make pictures, in a way that felt old and new at the same time. It was a revelation, a rebirth." Featured image is Woman at Sink.
