Lisa RobinsonThe title of this show of photographic images by Lisa Robinson was "A Stone Orchard." This collection of photos was produced during 1994-1998 while Lisa was living in New York City. Most of the photos were taken in the historic Woodlawn Cemetery located in the Bronx. The Woodlawn Cemetar, founded in 1863 during the "Rural Cemetery Movement," has provided burial space for moe than 300,000 individuals. Established as a non-sectarian cemetery, people of all races, cultures and religions are at rest in the 400 acres of rolling lawns, spectacular trees and impressive memorials designed by many of the nation's most acocmplished artists and architects.
The beauty of funerary monuments is often overlooked by a society placing such great improtance on youth and immortality.
