“My work process involves photographing fields of matter and discovering what these fields, within the structure of this media, can potentially yield. Recently, I have been working with India ink applied to translucent drafting film, which is hung and backlit for photographing. I shoot with an 8×10 camera and print in a traditional color darkroom. The subject matter is not a construct of previously sketched and carefully rendered images. It is rather a documentation of collaborative happenstance with material and mark, and with the catalytic ability for photography to shift this literal matter into potential notions of reference.” Read more in the description below.

Description

My work process involves photographing fields of matter and discovering what these fields, within the structure of this media, can potentially yield. Recently, I have been working with India ink applied to translucent drafting film, which is hung and backlit for photographing. I shoot with an 8×10 camera and print in a traditional color darkroom. The subject matter is not a construct of previously sketched and carefully rendered images. It is rather a documentation of collaborative happenstance with material and mark, and with the catalytic ability for photography to shift this literal matter into potential notions of reference. Photographs now seem as abundant as words, taken in as a grammar or code. My work has become a sort of code, or formal system in my mind: reducing infinite subject-hood to simple planes of matter to be photographed and perceived. I am intrigued by the impulse to comprehend and read this language, and am informed by the context and image body we bring with us to any one photographic object or lens based gesture. Considering all we bring, I tend to eliminate much, reducing the photogenic possibilities down to a blank sheet of drafting film, ink, and a discipline with analog photography. From this place of uncertainty comes some sort of measurable mark. The camera takes it, and we take the image. For my thinking, the process is no longer about specific idea or creative gesture, but about certain distances of form and media yielding to potential.

16×20 in. Unframed Martyn Thompson Alien – Light Blue

In Martyn Thompson’s alien series, these jellyfish are transformed into other worldly creatures, existing as repetitious form in a floating abyss. The series contains a varying palette of blues and grays, recalling the range of tones in the natural sea environment. Interestingly, the form changes very little from image to image, yet the overall feeling the image conveys is quite dramatically different, depending on the color scheme. In this image, the dark, rich blue imparts a certain feeling of depth, as if the viewer is peering into a deep, oceanic world. -Luster Fine Art Prints

"These stunning portraits show Siamese fighting fish seemingly floating in mid air, displaying their long, flowing fins and brilliant colours. Thai photographer Visarute Angkatavanich uses specialist lighting and crystal-clear water to capture exuberantly finned and coloured varieties of Betta splendens." Review from the Guardian, UK

30×40 in. Adam Rankin Sarah

The Moving series is a set of portraits taken in the weeks leading up to the sale of the family home. In each portrait, the subject floats above and through a shared memory, heading towards something new and undocumented, collectively redefining what the idea of home and family is becoming.Moving was shot in Edmonton, Alberta in the summer of 2005. The 5th member of our family, the red canoe, has been around as long as I have. Oddly enough, it has never seen the water and was sold shortly after theMoving series was taken, along with the family home. This particular image was shot in a shopping mall parking lot close to our family home. The mall has since been demolished and is now a bunch of condos. Both my sister and I spent a lot of time there over the years. On shoot day, my Dad was on lighting and grip and my Mum correlated film. The canoe was shot on location supported by scaffolding.

Oranges, Box and Painting on Door

John Chervinsky is fascinated by the scientific principles that govern our existence - in this case the concept of time. Oranges, Box and Painting on Door is from the series Studio Physics in which Chervinsky sets up his still life, photographs it, and crops a subset image which is then sent to a painting factory in China and painted by an anonymous artist. The painting is mailed back to the Chervinsky, who reinserts it into the original still life and re-photographs it. The final image shows the painting and the still life which has remained untouched during this experiment and documents the marking of time. Next available edition number is 12/15 International shipping available upon request. Please contact the gallery for rate quote.

A Pattern of Monstrosity

I hope that my work conveys some sense of the enigma of the human condition, the existential absurdity of life, and an appreciation for the mythologies in which we swaddle ourselves as proof against the unknown. Art is a way for me, a finite creature bowed beneath the weight of infinite mysteries, to wrangle this whole mess into something resembling a coherent philosophy.

20×30 Mounted in Plexi Barbara Erdmann Hubris

To capture these moments and close-up textures, Erdmann uses a Canon camera and lens to ensure the highest resolution for her photos. Barbara says, "I will click a thousand times before capturing the one spectacular photo that speaks to her. I become a bit obsessed." Barbara specializes in large-format images, and favors mounting them in acrylic for a clean and modern look to accentuate the striking images. The artwork is 20x30 Mounted in Plexi.
