The prints in this show combine two of my favorite passions – photography and razor clamming. Armed with a gun in one hand (albeit a clam gun) and a Nikon D850 camera in the other, I’ve spent countless hours on Oregon’s Clatsop Spit documenting the antics of clam diggers over the past several years. I’m often torn between getting my limit of clams or taking pictures. On good days – I get both. Ultimately, I intend to publish a fine art photography book on razor clamming that will include many of the images in this show.
My background as a photographer spans more than 50 years. Classically trained under Bernie Freemesser at the University of Oregon in the 1960s, I then spent several years in the Monterey Peninsula where my work was influenced by Brett Weston, Wynn Bullock, and Ansel Adams. In 1972 I worked as a special assistant to Ansel Adams and later that year returned to Oregon where I was employed as a commercial photographer and photography instructor.
Though my professional career was subsequently in the risk management sector, I’ve continued my lifelong interest in photography. I’m a founding member of f/8 (a fine art photography group based in Portland), a member of Portland Photographers Forum, a supporting member of LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, and a member of Blue Sky Gallery in Portland. My work has been published and exhibited in multiple regional venues.

Ashland, Oregon photographer, John Wimberley notes, “The northwestern edge of the Great Basin extends into southeastern Oregon. The very beautiful and remote region that I call Lone Grave Butte is perhaps unique in that it had a much higher population density when the abundant rock art was made than at present. At the time of first Euro-American contact it was populated by Northern Paiute people. But a wide diversity of rock art styles supports ethnographic and other evidence that the
place was a summer plant and root gathering resource for various peoples from the surrounding region.
“The rock art depicted in this exhibition is situated along east-facing, lichen covered basalt rims. During the afternoons the rims are in shade. Shiny surfaces reflect the blue northeast sky, and matte surfaces are often tinted by golden, smoky light from forest fires. They are situated in an exquisite, minimalist high-desert landscape that once was forested. The land misses those people who were present for more than 13,000 years. This exhibition is a tribute to them.”
John Wimberley was born in Bermuda during 1945. In 1966, he began photographing while working on the flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier. Since then, his photographs have appeared in nearly one hundred exhibitions, multiple international publications, and are found in many hundreds of public and private collections around the world. He has taught many workshops, primarily his “Sight & Insight” program which was extremely popular.
In 2010, Wimberley received the Oliver Award from the American Rock Art Research Association for his self-published book of American Indian petroglyphs titled Evidence of Magic. During 2011, Wimberley was one of eight photographers invited to participate in the first-ever exhibition of American landscape photography in
Moscow, Russia. At present, Wimberley has given up teaching and continues to devote his time to photography.

“Jewish thought suggests that the memory of an action is as primary as the action itself. This is to say that when my hand is wounded, I remember other hands. I trace ache back to other aches—when my mother grabbed my wrist too hard pulling me across the intersection, when my great-grandmother’s fingers went numb on the ship headed towards Cuba fleeing the Nazis, when Miriam’s palms enduringly poured water for the Hebrews through their biblical desert journey—this is how the Jew is able to fathom an ache.”
In Kavana, Hannah Altman explores her Jewish heritage and intergenerational memory, using photography to remember and reinterpret stories that have been passed down by the women in her family and generated through ritual and folklore. For the artist, her photographs “are positioning themselves in the past as memories, in the present as stories being told, and in the future as rituals to interpret and repeat.”
Hannah Altman is a Jewish-American artist from New Jersey. Her work interprets relationships between body, interiority, feminine performance, and lineage, exploring the structures that perpetuate them using photographic-based media. She has recently exhibited at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, Junior High Gallery in Los Angeles, and the University of Passau in Germany. Her work has been published in the Carnegie Museum of Art Storyboard, Vanity Fair, Huffington Post, and i-D. She has delivered lectures on her work and research across the country, including at Yale University, the Society for Photographic Education’s Southeast Conference, and Six x Ate artist lecture series. She is an MFA candidate at Virginia Commonwealth University and the 2019 recipient of the Bertha Anolic Israel Travel Award

Blue Sky is pleased to present the first west coast exhibition of Brave, Beautiful Outlaws, which features thirty prints by Donna Gottschalk from her archive spanning over forty years. Working in New York. Washington, D.C., and San Francisco from the 1960s into the 1990s, Gottschalk photographed herself along with her family, friends, lovers, and activists in the queer communities there. Frustrated that lesbian bars—primarily run by the mafia and often raided by police—provided one of the only social spaces for meeting other gay women in New York at the time, she joined the Gay Liberation Front in 1968, and later the Radicalesbians. Through these activist groups she met lesbian artists JEB (Joan E. Biren), Flavia Rando, and others, and later moved to California to join lesbian-separatist communities. These intimate portraits of the individuals Gottschalk has known and loved, including photographs of her sibling Myla who transitioned later in life, remained mostly unseen until her 2018 exhibition at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, which was instigated by JEB and curated by Deborah Bright.
Donna Gottschalk is an American photographer who grew up on New York’s Lower East Side in low-income tenement housing, where she lived with her mother and three siblings. She began photographing at the age of seventeen and later studied art at Cooper Union in the 1960s. When she was eighteen, Gottschalk joined the Gay Liberation Front and later joined the Radicalesbians, and she participated in many political actions. Later in life, she moved to Connecticut to open a photo lab with her partner, Tony, which they ran for thirty-eight years. Brave, Beautiful Outlaws was first exhibited in 2018 at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York and the work has been featured in the New York Times, Wallpaper*, and Hyperallergic, among many other publications. Now in her seventies, Gottschalk lives on a small farm in rural Vermont.

New York City, 1932. The country is in the throes of the Great Depression. The previous decade’s boom of Italian, Irish, and Jewish immigrants has led to unprecedented urban expansion where steelworkers risk life and limb building skyscrapers. Part of this incredible feat is captured on film in the famous photograph “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper”.
Film maker Seán Ó Cualáin traces the history of this iconic photograph, showing 11 construction workers eating lunch while sitting on an I-beam over Manhattan. The identities of these 11 men and of the photographer has remained a mystery for 80 years.
This extraordinary documentary, narrated by Irish actress Fionnula Flanagan, Speaks to the resiliency of the immigrant experience in America.
Popcorn provided & Discussion encouraged

As a fat-bodied person, I am told that I must operate under shame and shrink myself as much as possible. When I stood in front of my lens nude for the first time, it created a radical change in self-perception. I realized that for two decades I had apologized for my body. As my work began to develop, I photographed with one question in mind, “What does being in this body feel like?” I began to answer by taking up space, and making a body commonly seen as undesirable project power through vulnerability. It is essential to consider not just who is allowed to be photographed but how. Images play a pivotal role in forming our belief system and engrain biases awaiting confrontation. The first place I could start was by drawing a line of fear out in front of myself and ever so slowly, over the last ten years of my work, step over each one. The images serve as an open ended and complicated relationship built on the notion that there is no way to grow into someone I can love through hate.
Brittney Cathey-Adams is a photographic artist currently located in Portland, OR. Her work includes themes of body politics, and fat representation that interrogates the histories of the male gaze and self-portraiture. Her work has been on exhibit throughout institutions such as the de Young Museum in San Francisco, CA, Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, CA and Colorado Photographic Arts Center in Denver, CO. Most recently, she was part of the 2019 Curatorial Prize at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, OR. With a strong passion for photography and art education Cathey-Adams dedicates herself to image making as well as sharing visual language through teaching at Portland Community College and Clackamas Community College.

The 11th biennial exhibit of the Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild features over 90 black-and-white and color photographs that interpret the closing lines of one of the most enduring poems by one of America’s most beloved poets–“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. The 26 photographers participating in the exhibit were asked to take a look “off the beaten path” in response to the poem’s final stanza:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
The photographers responded with a broad range of imagery, from literal depictions of untrammeled paths and passageways, to metaphorical images about choices and new directions, as well as examples of new turns in their own personal artistic journeys.
The Willamette Valley PhotoArts Guild was formed more than 30 years ago to promote and support fine art photography in the mid-valley and has been an affiliated guild of the Corvallis Art Center since 1988.
The LaSells Stewart Center is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and evenings during scheduled events.

Blue Moon Camera and Machine celebrates their Eighteenth Anniversary with a presentation of their Seventeenth Annual Customer Show. As one of the last optical printing labs in the country, Blue Moon Camera handles film from thousands of photographers around the globe throughout the year. Tens of thousands of images pass through the lab – some destined for the walls of a gallery, others for an esteemed place on the refrigerator.
Regardless of where they end up, many of these images are so strikingly beautiful that they cannot be contained by the hands of the Blue Moon staff member who notices them, this is how the Customer Show is born. Candidate images are selected democratically by the staff, and after a majority vote and the photographer’s signature, they become the images that make up the Customer Show.
This year’s Customer Show will take place in the following venues.
There will be an opening reception at all venues on Saturday, December 7th from 7-9pm. Images selected in 2019 will hang at 45th Parallel Wines, and other venues will host images selected and shown in previous years.
A dance party social will follow the opening from 9pm until 11pm at 45th Parallel Wines.

Teresa Flowers, A Goddess Is Nothing Without Her Flowers

What does spirituality mean to you? For Teresa Flowers, it is a continuous creative journey that has led her to create her vision of God, and she is inviting you on this journey with her show titled Goddess. By using a photography process called albumen, she has hand-created images that go beyond what a mere photograph can share and has brought her dreams and visions into our reality.
Flowers is one of only a handful of photographers who use the albumen process in their work. The process involves coating a piece of paper in the emulsion of egg white known as albumen and sodium or ammonium chloride, allowing it to dry, coating it in silver nitrate and water, dry again, place in a frame under a negative and place in the sun for exposure. When this process is complete, you will see what appears to be an aged print.
Flowers’ process is unique as she creates her prints then will add additional hand drawings as she sees fit. But the most impressive part is that her prints are 30 x 40 in size, making an already lengthy printing process, even more, labor-intensive but visually rewarding.
Media is invited to attend her opening reception taking place on December 7th from 6 pm – 9 pm at her studio located at 1472 NE Alberta Street.
This show is in its beginning stages with additional ideas in the works.
Originally from Salt Lake City, UT, Flowers made a name for herself and moved to L.A. to enhance and share her skills with other artists. Her path eventually led her to Portland, where she is embracing the life and culture of the Pacific Northwest while continuing to build awareness in the local art community. You can visit Flowers’ work and learn more about her on her website https://www.teresaflowers.com/ .

Moon Shine: Photographs of the Cumberland Plateau is a body of work inspired by the unique musical traditions of the Cumberland Plateau. This region is home to a rich storytelling heritage, showcased in historic fiddle tunes, balladry, religious gospel pieces and other songs passed down as part of a formidable—but quickly disappearing—oral tradition. Rachel Boillot has channeled these traditions into a lyrical portrait of place, and the photographs in this exhibition act as a visual score to mirror musical melody. Her work explores the relationship between what is heard and what is seen, with a tension between mystery and revelation pervading the work.

Umbral, which means “gateway” or “portal” in Spanish, is a series by Erika Morillo focused on her young son. Through her contemplative black-and-white images and accompanying poetry, viewers are given a glimpse of her son’s inner world, as well as Morillo’s introspections as a single parent.
“Becoming a single mother at a young age proved frightening to me, and not for the obvious reasons. I felt a huge responsibility to create a nurturing childhood for him, different from the dysfunctional one I had lived. With these images I wanted to intervene, to somehow create a magical space that could lessen his generational baggage. With this project I aim to explore both my fantasies of what childhood should be and the freedom my son needs to live his own reality.”
Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Erika Morillo is a freelance photographer and artist based in New York City. She studied clinical psychology and sociology, which influenced her to photograph as a way to understand her family dynamics and the social environment she inhabits. Her work focuses on the issues of family, inner-city life and the finding of identity. Her photographs have been published and exhibited nationally and internationally. She is currently pursuing an MFA at Image Text Ithaca and lives in Manhattan with her son Amaru.

New York photographer Sue Bailey notes, “These photos communicate my love of nature and the city (and I now realize, my love of drama and the theater). I only shoot the trees at night when I feel most connected to the energy of the natural world and I use only available light—so rich and complex in NYC it’s a show unto itself. There is covert storytelling in the light sources. Plus, the trees become highly dramatized in the city’s artificial lighting. They exude a mystery and magic often unnoticed during the day. Oddly, they feel more alive at their most artificial. There’s undeniable soul in these trees. I see them as protectors and guardians at times. There’s one on Riverside Drive that I call “My Guy” (he’s in the show!) That approaches what I aim to reveal and communicate: the trees have spirit and their relationship with us is as co-creators and beings who deserve mutual love and respect.”
Sue Bailey is a New York-based artist who for the past few years has focused on shooting trees at night in NYC and other cities. She was raised on the coast of Oregon and in Portland, hence her deep love and appreciation of nature. She is a graduate of Cooper Union School of Art in NYC, where she studied painting and other fine arts. Her photographs have been in various group shows around the country, most recently at the Davis Orton Gallery in Hudson, NY. She was the subject of a highly unusual (for them) article in the online magazine for Nat Geo called, “The Singular Drama of New York Trees.” Before focusing solely on her photography, Sue was a Vice President at HBO, working on some of the great TV (or it’s Not TV?) shows of all time. Sue has continued her studies and work at International Center of Photography in NYC.

“We all get dressed for Bill,” says Vogue editrix Anna Wintour.
The “Bill” in question is New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, until his death in 2016, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.” Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. Snapping photos of ordinary New Yorkers he spots on the street, Bill is the quintessential street photographer with a flair for fashion and an eye for character.
“Bill Cunningham, New York” Awards:
Nantucket Film Festival—Best Storytelling In A Documentary
Melbourne Film Festival and the Sydney Film Festival—Audience Award Best Documentary
Abu Dhabi Film Festival—Best First Documentary
Film Festival New York—New Directors/New Film
Canberra Film Festival—Audience Award Best Documentary

This film is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.

In the thirty-five years that I’ve been a practicing artist, I have devoted most of that time working in “alternative” historic photographic printing processes and exploring the qualities inherent in film, specifically in tandem with pinhole and toy cameras. Given that much of this work is hand-made and revolves around unpredictability, infinite variability, inordinate amounts of time, and a definite leap of faith, the one question that consistently arises— sometimes even in my own mind— is: Why? Given the relative ease that 21st century technology offers with regard to photographing and printing, why would anyone devote themselves to ancient methods of visual storytelling? In my presentation, and through my images, I’ll talk about how my work evolved, and why. I hope you’ll join me!
An exhibiting photographer for over thirty-five years, Diana has received numerous awards for her images, including a 1985 New Jersey State Visual Arts Fellowship, and six Regional Artist Grants from the United Arts Council of Raleigh, North Carolina, most recently in 2019/20. She was named a Critical Mass Finalist in 2014, 2018, and, most recently, in 2019.
Specializing in 19th century printing techniques, Diana’s images have been included in a number of books, including Pinhole Photography: Rediscovering a Historic Technique (2004), by Eric Renner; Robert Hirsch’s Exploring Color Photography Fifth & Sixth Editions: From Film to Pixels (2011; 2015); in Jill Enfield’s Guide to Photographic Alternative Processes: Popular Historical and Contemporary Techniques; in Christopher James’ The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes (2015); and, most recently, in #NoFilter, by Natalia Price-Cabrera, published in May 2019.
She is a featured artist in Christina Z. Anderson’s Gum Printing: A Step-by-Step Manual, Highlighting Artists and their Creative Practice (2017); and in Clay Harmon’s Polymer Photogravure: A Step-by-Step Manual, Highlighting Artists & their Creative Practice (2019).
Her photographs have been featured in the Pinhole Journal; The World Journal of Post-Factory Photography; Chinese Photography; Dodho Photography Magazine, and Silvershotz (including front cover image). Her images have been included in The Sun Magazine (including front cover image) ; The HAND Magazine; and the North Carolina Literary Review.
Her art is in a number of public and private collections, including the Norton Museum of Art, located in West Palm Beach, Florida; The Fine Art Program and Collection at Montefiore Einstein, in Bronx, New York; New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors, located in Santa Fe, New Mexico; and North Carolina State University’s Gregg Museum of Art & Design, in Raleigh, North Carolina.
A native North Carolinian, Diana lives and works in Raleigh, North Carolina, where she received her MA in English Literature and Creative Writing from North Carolina State University. She teaches workshops throughout the country, and in her beautiful backyard studio.
Diana is represented by the Ryan Gallery at Art Intersection, located in Gilbert, Arizona, and by photo-eye Gallery (Photographer’s Showcase), located in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Edward E. Rosenbaum (1915 – 2009), a medic in the U.S. Army during World War II, was deployed in the invasions of Africa, Sicily, and Normandy. Throughout his tenure in the Army, he spent time perfecting his photography skills. After the war he settled in Portland, OR to raise a family and focus on his medical practice.
His granddaughter, Rachel Rosenbaum, also found interest in photography and working in the darkroom. In addition to her own work, she has been developing prints from Edward’s negatives found in old boxes kept by his family. Throughout developing her grandfather’s photos, she was provided with insight into a part of his life that was unfamiliar to her. Although this project has been an emotional journey it has given her the opportunity to honor and preserve his memory.

LightBox Photographic Gallery host the artists’ opening reception for Dreaming in Color on Saturday, November 9, from 5-8 pm. Dreaming in Color is a celebration of photographic images where the color element is pivotal. Dreaming in Color was juried by one of the most talented purveyors of color in her photography, Jody Miller.
Forty-three photographers from around the country were chosen for the exhibit which includes 60 pieces. The Juror’s award was given to Steve Lease of Doylestown Pa., the second Juror’s Award to Chuck Kirchner of Tuscon, Arizona and the third Award to Dianne Yudelson of Pleasanton Ca. In addition five honorable mentions were awarded.
“Color is a very personal issue for most photographers. It’s also a completely individual experience, since not one of us sees color exactly the same way as anyone else. Our perception of color informs our choices as photographers and creates our emotional language. “Dreaming in Color” is about much more than our dreams. It is an invitation to explore your own uses of color in your photography and tell us how it influences your decisions in image making.” ~ Jody Miller
Jody Miller has been a photographer for most of her life. She has studied with Ansel Adams, Arthur Ollman and Jerry Uelsmann. Her photographs of landscape and cityscape have been featured in many publications. She has been featured in solo shows at Camerwork Gallery in Portland, the MorYork Gallery in Los Angeles, and LightBox Gallery in Astoria, with one image in the permanent collection of the Tate Gallery in London. Lens Culture named her one of “21 Great Female Photographers” in 2016 and she has won numerous awards both here in the US and internationally. She is a happy part time resident of Astoria, Oregon. Her website can be found at jodymillerphoto.com.

Joanna Macy once wrote “As we work to heal the Earth, the Earth heals us.” This exhibit creates a space of Nature, inner transformation and neutral sanctuary; contemplating the idea of wild nature simply enduring, going about its daily business, living in the present moment, at peace.and yet.still influenced by our presence.
EXHALE: earth is a body of work using ancient Taoist art as both inspiration and vehicle of expression; exploring the interconnection between Nature and Humanity, as well as, considering the idea that Nature does not live in the boundaries that we do, in tiny squares on a satellite map, but within the vast landscape we have built our homes upon.
FOREST is a collection of photographs, influenced by personal memories of the quiet, lush forests of Reardon’s home state of Oregon. There are reflections of the senses and spirit; when the harmony of a forest left unaltered by humanity creates balance within, and the lessons of a forest growing into itself build foundations of collaboration, mutual sustainability and interdependence.
At the show’s opening reception, Reardon will be launching her latest art book ‘forest’, which features over 90 of her color and B+W photographs, created with digital and vintage film cameras; 25 of these images will be framed and hung throughout the Chessman Gallery. 40% of all art sales from this show will directly benefit the Lincoln City Cultural Center; a vibrant hub of artistic expression and arts education on the central Oregon coast.
New work that echoes the textures of the forest by Lincoln County ceramic artist Chasse Davidson, will be included as well.

All Blue Sky events and programs are free and open to the public.
To celebrate our 44th birthday, Blue Sky launched a two-part exhibition series, Blue Sky Ahead, which began with October’s exhibition of current and past photographic work by founders Ann Hughes, Christopher Rauschenberg, Craig Hickman, Robert Di Franco, and Terry Toedtemeier.
This month, Blue Sky presents the second half of the exhibition series, Blue Sky Ahead: Futures. From a statewide call to photo-based artists, Blue Sky’s founders chose six individuals to represent the next generation of Oregon photographers: Ebenezer Galluzzo, Emma Kisiel, Jamila Clarke, Nolan Streitberger, Sam Wrigglesworth, and Troi Anderson. Although these photographers work with the medium in very different ways to tell a range of stories, they are linked by their use of the camera to reframe or question our past and present cultural norms, as they expand our understanding of what has come before, what is, and what could be.
About the Artists:
Ebenezer Galluzzo is a gender nonconforming trans man, mother, husband, and witch living in Portland, Oregon. He views the craft of photography as a way to claim and redefine the lens through which he sees the world. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in the United States, including solo shows in Astoria and Portland, Oregon, and his work has been published in Diffusion and in Black & White magazine.
Emma Kisiel holds a bachelor of fine arts with an emphasis in photography from the University of Colorado Denver. Her work has been featured online in Lenscratch, Esquire Russia, F-Stop Magazine, Feature Shoot, Juxtapoz, and the Huffington Post, and in print in BLINK Magazine and Shots Magazine. Kisiel is also the author of the blog and online artist index Muybridge’s Horse. She is based in Portland, Oregon.
Jamila Clarke is a fine art photographer whose focus is conceptual portraiture. They were born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in the Pacific Northwest. They studied studio art with a focus on fine art photography/digital video at Oberlin College. Their work has been featured in various galleries and publications around the United States.
Nolan Streitberger is an artist living in Albany, Oregon. He first studied photography while attending Oregon State University’s pre-college JumpstART program. Nolan holds degrees in graphic design and digital imaging and prepress technology. Streitberger’s work has been featured online in Der Spiegel, Bento, ZEITjUNG, Flavorwire, and Edge of Humanity Magazine, and has been selected for recognition by the Smithsonian Photo Contest and the Palm Springs Photo Festival. His photographs have been exhibited in Blue Sky Gallery’s Pacific NW Drawers, PhotoPlace Gallery online, the Curated Fridge, and LoosenArt at the Millepiani Gallery in Rome, Italy.
Sam Wrigglesworth is a photographer/artist living and working in Eugene, Oregon. They recently completed their BFA in photography at the University of Oregon. Their work often deals with navigating and renegotiating their relationship to memory. They typically use large- and medium-format analog cameras, which requires them to employ a slow and intentional process in order to understand an image. In the same way, understanding oneself or one’s memories is often slow and cumulative.
Troi Anderson is a documentary photographer based in Portland, Oregon. He began his career working for Magnolia Pictures and later sailed throughout Asia and the South Pacific as a merchant marine. His work has been featured in GEO France, the Oregonian, and Black & White magazine, and on such websites as CNN Photos, TIME LightBox, and Verve Photo. Anderson’s photography has been exhibited in Blue Sky’s Pacific NW Drawers, and he has been named an emerging artist by Daniel Cooney Fine Art and Musée Magazine. His work has received awards and recognition from American Photography; Photolucida’s Critical Mass Top 50; PX3: Le Prix de la Photographie, Paris; Communication Arts; the Smithsonian Photo Contest; the Sony World Photography Awards; the Aperture Foundation; IPA – International Photography Awards; and the Palm Springs Photo Festival.

Philadelphia photographer Rick Wright inhabits the persona of a c. 4300 CE archaeologist: a scientist stumbling onto a cache of preserved vessels crafted out of an unknown synthetic material. This Dada series of catalogued “artifacts” explores how a future society might interpret contemporary plastic containers. The project is driven by Wright’s creative lens work; the objects taking on new form, expression, and meaning. There are 27 digital photographs (18 on display at Camerawork Gallery) in the collection—printed with tri-tone pigment ink on Hahnemühle Bamboo paper at 12” x 18”.
ABOUT THE ARTIST Rick Wright practices photography as a malleable and sculptural medium, stating “photography suffers the unfortunate condition of looking like reality and remains the first thing to transcend as a photographer.” He trained first as an oil painter at Princeton and Columbia Universities (BA and MFA), then later morphed into a photographer with studies at ICP in NY with Nan Goldin, Susan Meiselas, Dorit Cypis, and Danny Lyon. Wright is a Philadelphia-based photographer working as a fine artist, an architectural photographer, and an instructor.
The Vessels of the Late Petroleum Age are currently featured on the cover of LensWork #144 magazine (Sept.-Oct. 2019); along with a 16-page spread. The work has also appeared online in Float Magazine and garnered a Fleisher Faculty Fellowship Award. Wright is currently working on a book of the series with a professional writer.
Several of his photographs reside in permanent collections: Houston Museum of Fine Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Creon Collection, Johnson & Johnson Collection, and The University of Pennsylvania. Wright keeps his studio in Philadelphia (past 13 years) and teaches photography at Fleisher Art Memorial, Peter’s Valley School of Art & Craft, and The Halide Project.
“Photography is 93% of my life. The other 7% is occupied by typewriter repair, short story writing, and life model sketching. I chose photography over painting for its speed, joy, and unexpected bends of reality.”—Rick Wright
