Family Genus Species is Jeff Whetstone’s first monograph, pairing black-and-white photographs made in the backwoods with three short stories. Borrowing its title from Linnaean taxonomy, the book uses the logic of classification to look at how people, animals, and land are bound to one another.
In the stories, animals and plants are sources of fascination, comfort, and unease, and folklore, religion, field guides, and firsthand experience rub up against each other. The photographs move from intimate moments to communal rituals, picturing people as part of the natural world rather than apart from it.
