After years of exploring the idea of cinematic photography, "Sanctuary" was Crewdson's return to photography, his original hobby and technical training. Most recently, Crewdson has created "Cathedral of the Pines", similar to Beneath the Roses and Twilight, a distanced interpretation of exaggerated drama by an intervention into natural in its most synergetic state. The collection was shown at Gagosian Gallery in New York City. The collection returns to his early photographic origins in Becket, Massachusetts set deep in the woods far from familiarity of subject and setting.
