Justin James King

Justin James King Work from And Still We Gather With Infinite Momentum. “Justin James King radically intervenes in the common spectacle of the tourist vista by removing the view itself. A lone figure stands on a promontory gazing out into the utter void. Commenting on the reflexive act of looking (and by extension, on the […]

James Welling

James Welling Work from his oeuvre. “The various steps involved in the creation of these works are instructive: Welling first arranged and exposed plumbago blossoms on black-and-white sheet-film negatives then printed each one using a different assortment of colored gels. Each work is, then, like the result of a performance in the darkroom, where the […]

Aimee Brodeur

Aimee Brodeur Work from Sculptures and Diary. There was no text to be found about this work, but they function so well as photo sculptures I wanted to share them. I am particularly drawn to the process errors in these works as an aesthetic, but I am not sure if their intent moves beyond that. […]

Letha Wilson

Letha Wilson Work from Photo Sculptures. “…Letha is very interested in the intersections between the natural world and architecture, specifically points in which these two areas are merged. Many of her previous artworks incorporates photography of the landscape with sculptural materials, or video work in which interior architecture is explored alongside images from the vast […]

Lacey Terrell

Lacey Terrell Work from Offset. “In this series, I have used my experience as a still photographer on motion pictures as a starting point, but have turned my camera away from the action – off set. Slipping behind the metaphoric curtain of center stage, I will look back at the constructed reality being played out, […]

Cassander Schattenkerk

Cassander Schattenkerk Work from The Andromeda Strain and Series #2. Statement for The Andromeda Strain: “After making many landscape photographs I realized the search for special places is more important than the place itself. The notion of discovery has always been intimately linked to photography. The cliché of the photographer as an explorer of unknown […]

Michael Vahrenwald

Michael Vahrenwald Work from Winter Landscapes. “All of the images are of doctor prescribed depression therapy light boxes, shot on an 18% “photo gray” backdrop. The prints are traditional gelatin silver prints shot with a 5×7 camera. Each image is titled after the object itself: New Horizons Ultralight, Sunbox jr and Nu-You are just some […]

Sebastian Lemm

Sebastian Lemm Work from Lapse. “As a photo-based artist, I see myself as the link between two realities—the one outside of the camera and the one that begins once the photograph has been taken. Rather than documenting or ‘capturing the moment,’ I want to show what is not immediately visible. My work is informed by […]

Ulrich Görlich

Ulrich Görlich Work from 15 Landschaften. Görlich’s work is a kind of anti-portraiture/landscape that maintains powerful relevance 10 years after its initial creation. 15 Landschaften (15 Landscapes) is an exercise in meta-photographic seeing/thinking. This work calls to mind other photographers who share conceptual relationships with Görlich, but whose aesthetic is far more rooted in their […]

New Catalogue

New Catalogue (Luke Batten and Jonathan Sadler) Works from Color Theory for the Economist and Nine Portraits of Patrick Swayze. “New Catalogue is an artists’ collaborative that adopts the model of a stock photo agency, presenting thematic series of images with the crisp aesthetic and pared-down descriptive titles of their commercial prototypes. Yet the artists […]
