Increasingly the differences between the wild and the contained, the fertile and the barren, and the natural and the artificial has become narrowed. The dichotomy or lack of creates a visual tension that questions the uneasy relationship between geologic force and the limits of human intervention.
I create worlds to tell the stories I need to tell. I build sets, both life size and miniature, and stage narrative scenes in them. Her work is created with hands and love, not photoshop. My cyanotype abstractions dwell on surface, texture and process.
When working in near or total darkness with fickle chemistry, one has no choice but to let go and allow the constituent materials to have their own life. I see my darkroom work as wow ethereum staging grounds for sculptures collaboration with chance. Kate Cordsen is known for her large format ethereal landscapes.

My work is a form of abstract expressionism. The subject matter varies from landscapes, flowers and trees, to city streets. My intention is to simplify the subject before me to its most natural elements of light, color and composition.
The outcome is an image of bold color and gestural movement that allows for freedom of interpretation. His most recent work focuses on unique abstracts and expressionistic landscapes taken from nature and the colorful world around us.
At the core of my artistic efforts lies an urge that has existed since childhood: For many years, I have used the camera and photographic process to bend reality. The impulse to populate and control an invented world has led to photographs of sculptures that appear to metamorphose into living flesh, portraits of plants and seeds, and shots of curious objects that catch my interest.
She constructs stylized interpretations of botanical and natural specimens, bodies, art, and architectural fragments. Through a combination of handwork and digital and darkroom techniques, Fish suggests the pulsation and wonder of life in the world around us. Printed on metal, her images recall the earliest years of photography, when naturalist collections provided fodder for scientific and aesthetic experimentation. A museum is about time as well, collecting and exhibiting bits of the past and present, preserving them for the future, to inform, nourish wow ethereum staging grounds for sculptures inspire.
Most of my stories, it seems to me, could take place anywhere. Emerging photographer Sophie T. She wow ethereum staging grounds for sculptures in film, video, and on curatorial projects, having completed a residency at Wow ethereum staging grounds for sculptures du Magasin in Grenoble, France, in When you take a piece of chalk and a piece of paper, no one is telling you what to do. But photography is so specific about what can be rendered. I think that specificity is something that I have always found exciting.
He has tested the limits of the medium with his embrace of digital techniques and has looked back to its roots, creating works that juxtapose and blur the boundaries between past and present, photography and sculpture, cultural and individual memory. Welling has completed several series that consider the homes and workspaces of American artists and architects he admires, including Andrew Wyeth and Philip Johnson. James Welling has exhibited his work internationally, including at the Whitney Biennial and Documenta IX, and is the recipient of numerous prizes.
His photographs are in the collections of major museums around the world. My affinity is for notable trees in native forests, and trees that were once defined wow ethereum staging grounds for sculptures earlier agricultural landscapes of pastures and hedgerows. They are now rare to find, sadly abandoned, and often displaced and obliterated by invasive plants. Since the s, Connecticut native Tom Zetterstrom has traced the impact of environmental change in photographs that consider the impact of sprawl against the strength and nobility of trees.

Between its founding in the s and the late s, the Florence Griswold Museum gradually reassembled these pieces of land, forming a historic site of over 11 acres.
Her project investigates how boundaries reflect changes upon the land and demarcate differences between the familiar and the unknown, the contained and the wild.
It is the persistent beauty of the objects that most interests me—especially the fragility of the butterflies and moths. Lvoff approached their consideration of place in abstract terms, producing work that takes the museum as a point of departure for formal and conceptual contemplation.
Using abstract forms, she composes her large-format photographs through a demanding process that requires both physical, painterly dynamism, and chemical precision. In this way, Cordsen explores the tension between chance, accident, and wow ethereum staging grounds for sculptures.
His work recalls that of the Tonalist painters who visited Old Lyme in its rendering of the landscape in subjective terms. She researched Florence Griswold and the community of artists she created, the museum that has grown into, and the town whose enduring tourist appeal derives from those historical connections. As a tribute to the legacy of the artists who have come before her, Lvoff took color photographs wow ethereum staging grounds for sculptures icons in the town such as the Griswold house and the First Congregational Church, as well as wow ethereum staging grounds for sculptures barbershop shot in homage to the legendary vernacular photographer Walker Evans, who lived in Lyme.

Several are younger, emerging artists who continue to push themselves and their art in exciting ways.
