MacLean is a trained architect whose excellent sense of space also qualifies him beyond that field, particularly in landscape architecture. MacLean reveals the difference between the natural and the constructed aspects of the environment and most recently took photos of aspects of climate change, taking us with each image to a place we think we know but have never seen like this. The abstract concept of spatial order makes sense with the advantage of a bird’s-eye view. The photographer has seen nearly all of the US and Europe from above and shows us the structures of Western lifestyle, told as an overview of growth and decay, of planting and harvesting, of our need to be motorized and on the move and how such a course ends. They bring to order to what seems at ground level chaotic. MacLean’s (*1947) pictures have something healing about them.
