“Nisqually Typologies” takes a new approach to documenting a well-known and highly visited wildlife conservation area, focusing exclusively on environmental and ecological features of the refuge and their changes throughout the year. The book features 108 full color photographs of nine different typologies from the refuge: Saltwater, Fresh Water, Sloughs, River, Canopy, Paths, Twin Barns, Field, and Riparian Forest.
Each of the nine typologies includes 12 images, one from each month of 2022, examining the environmental change as the seasons progress.
The images represent the natural environment exactly as found with no additional commentary added, giving the viewer the opportunity to interpret the book and its content in accordance with their own experiences and values. None of the images have been digitally altered to add or remove objects.
While there exist many complex issues, both current and historical, regarding the usage of the lands that now comprise Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge, this book does not attempt to address those important issues and focuses solely on the intriguing nature of the present-day environment as a photographic subject worthy of close examination as a singular entity.
Schedule permitting, Zachary is available for artist talks (online and in-person) with no speaking fee for conservation, cultural or educational organizations. Email press@zacharycperson.com for more information.
