Cheryl Derricotte's second solo exhibition, A Consideration of Trees, invites us to see San Francisco through its trees. Urban trees function as site-specific records of a city's environmental and infrastructural conditions, an alternative mapping system through which climate, planning, and maintenance become legible. Through photographic textiles and glass works, the exhibition proposes a cartography that extends beyond zoning, administrative boundaries, and the optimized flows of capital and information. Selecting one tree from each of the city's thirty-six neighborhoods, Derricotte assembles a portrait of San Francisco as a living network of adaptation, persistence, and kinship. Tree growth bears the marks of heat, pollution, soil constraint, and species migration, encoding the social, political, and historical forces that organize land use.
