From My Mothers Chair by Elijah Cobb is a photographic contemplation shot
from his mothers chair.
After my mothers passing I received her writing table and chair. I found it
unsettling that her chair and table were in my studio. It didnt belong there - so
I had to sit in the chair until images came to me. The process has allowed me to
accept her passing and the presence of her creative seat in my life.
The images all include a window in Cobbs log cabin studio wall and illustrate
changing natural light and colored light playing across his still life subjects.
In a different Light by Randi Slaughter portrays local scenery by infrared,
dawn and moonlight to show familiar landscapes in unfamiliar ways, going
beyond what our eyes can perceive.
Slaughter worked with black and white infrared film years ago but now is
recreating the look and feel of that medium through digital interpretation. She
has used hazy light around hot objects, higher contrast and more grain, to
create penetrating and stark images. Slaughter also uses extended exposures to
show us landscapes illuminated by moonlight and the early pink of
dawn. Living in a rural area, she has access to clear dark skies that many people
are no longerprivileged to enjoy. |
