• 20”x30” (limited edition of 5)

• 28”x40” (limited edition of 5)

• 40”x60” (limited edition of 5)

This minimalist landscape photograph is meticulously composed with a central form of a black circle, surrounded by a halo of verdant green. Light lines seem as if they are drawn into the surface of the sandy beige, grey field.

• 20”x30” (limited edition of 5)

• 28”x40” (limited edition of 5)

• 40”x60” (limited edition of 5)

In this color photograph, Zoe Wetherall has composed the geometry of nature and landscape to create this beautifully visually balanced photograph. A light green grazing field creates a horizontal band of color, dotted with cattle viewed from above. The black cows approach a farm road, which appears as another stripe just below the upper field of grey - beige, brown.

“Crops” color photograph,

• 20”x30” (limited edition of 5)

• 28”x40” (limited edition of 5)

• 40”x60” (limited edition of 5)

Vertical stripes of earth alternate with rows of verdant green foliage in this abstract landscape photograph. Wetherall presents a unique vision of the cultivation of nature, amplifying the geometry of the crop lines, to visually define a striped pattern.

“Divided” color photograph,

• 20”x30” (limited edition of 5)

• 28”x40” (limited edition of 5)

• 40”x60” (limited edition of 5)

Horizontal fields of color and texture create striped bands of blue grey and green in this abstract color landscape photograph. Slight ripples in the teal blue water meet the pebbled beach at a straight line, which is graded in color marking the water's ebb and flow. The railing and road follow the stone's edge so neatly along the clean cut green grass that the wildness of nature seems to be so completely tamed, and structured.

“Driving” color photograph,

• 20”x30” (limited edition of 5)

• 28”x40” (limited edition of 5)

• 40”x60” (limited edition of 5)

A play on words with the title. "Driving" relates to a cattle drive and also to the driver of a car along the road in this photograph. Composed with a minimalist flare, Wetherall frames her photograph with a single horizontal line bisecting the upper two thirds of the neutral, sandy colored ground. A speckling of black dots draw the viewer in for closer inspection, revealing the overall scale, and the subjects she has captured. Cattle along an open expanse of dry field grass, gather in an open grouping. A sole car drives along a the line of the road.

• 40”x60” (limited edition of 5)

A deep blue pool of water is separated from a vibrant field of green by an undulated line of bushes and white stone, in this abstract landscape photograph. The dark blue expanse of water meets the lush green expanse with a minimalist field of color.

“Helipad” color photograph,

• 20”x30” (limited edition of 5)

• 28”x40” (limited edition of 5)

• 40”x60” (limited edition of 5)

The graphic markings on a helipad are composed by the photographer, Zoe Wetherall, to give a sense of pattern and rhythm. The circular and striped lines activate the central panel of grey, centered along an atmospheric plane of teal blue water in this abstract waterscape photograph.

“Hint of Green” color photograph,

• 20”x30” (limited edition of 5)

• 28”x40” (limited edition of 5)

• 40”x60” (limited edition of 5)

A vertical line bisects the two sides of this landscape photograph, with an arid dry field on the left and on the right of the image, bright green trees and verdant foliage burst with color, along a sandy grass field. The division between a watered land and unwatered, is apparent in this aerial photograph by Zoe Wetherall.

“Horses” color photograph,

• 28”x40” (limited edition of 5)

• 40”x60” (limited edition of 5)

In this photograph by Zoe Wetherall, “Horses” two horses stand next to a wire fence, the geometric pattern shadows of the fence posts and horses delineate their forms on the ground. There is a sense of longing in this photograph, with the long shadows and the isolated feel of the dry grass field.
