Here the grass is almost lost completely.
Movement stretches the scene into vertical ribbons of violet, blue, green, amber and white. Instead of describing individual stems, the photograph is carried by direction and rhythm, with colours repeatedly separating and meeting again across the frame.
Of the Rainbow Grass pictures, this is one in which the subject matters least as an identifiable thing. What remains important is where the picture began—with wind, grass and low winter light—but the photograph has transformed those elements into something the original scene could only suggest.
It is still a photograph of grass. It just no longer needs to behave like one.
