Minor Adjustments features works from Browning’s series of the same name, presented at Moskowitz Bayse as an exhibition in 2020. Combining humor, poetry, and an extensive armory of commercial hardware, Browning prods at the various orthodoxies of conceptual art–here, the tradition of land art, in particular.

Executed across the United States, the photographs in Minor Adjustments identify and solve absurd imperfections in disparate natural and urban landscapes. Trees in Brooklyn are made to stand up straight with the help of ratchet straps and pulleys, while dry desert riverbeds are temporarily made flat, as proved by Browning’s omnipresent bubble levels.
