Dickerman Prints Gallery is proud to unveil two new photographic series’, by our award-winning local artists-in-residence. The opening wine and cheese reception will be held on Friday, December 4, from 6pm – 9pm, and the exhibition will run through January 15, 2016.
Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Preston Gannaway is presenting a series of new prints from her documentary project, ‘Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea’.
For five years, Gannaway documented the changing character of a working-class neighborhood along the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, while exploring residents' relationship to the environment. The result is a collection of images revealing both the dark and light facets of this complicated community.
‘Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea’ has been featured in New York Times Lens, American Photography, Oxford American, The Half King Photography Series, CNN and Wired, among others. A limited edition book of the project was just published.
With ‘Places In-Between | New Landscapes’, Kenneth Shevlin used a handmade pinhole camera to emulate the style of 19th century impressionism, capturing the essence rather than the strict fidelity of the landscapes being photographed.
“I wanted to photograph landscapes more abstractly, as a context for considering the importance of open natural spaces and my concern for the increasing diminishment of those spaces due to resource extraction and the expediency of wholesale development,” says Shevlin.
‘Places In-Between | New Landscapes’ effectively erases the blighting which most of these natural settings have undergone … creating a unique portrayal of aspirational fiction.
