"Like his individual photographs, Botman?s books and writings are autobiographical and chronicle the stages in his life, but they do not follow a linear narrative. ?One Tree?, the artist?s third monograph, comprises a collection of images that are at once dark and hopeful, challenging and inviting. The book ends with Botman?s short story, ?The hawk & the cat?, which plays off wonderfully with the images preceding it."
