Bob Tanner: What Was Left Behind

For years, Bob Tanner’s photography has been concerned with questions of mortality – his own and that of the world we inhabit. The images in his exhibit are from a continuing series titled,What Was Left Behind. Typically, living organisms leave evidence of their existence. Sometimes they are easy to find, while other traces can be obscured or difficult to understand. According to Tanner, "The objects in this series appear to be packages, or sacks, or luggage, perhaps only tea bags. We sense they are filled, but with what and why? And what about their scale? Is it important?"
