GAIL ALBERT

2 (Woodstock, NY)

JIM ALLEN

(Millbrook, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Gail Albert is based in Woodstock, NY, living in the area since 1999. Throughout her adult life, photography has been a constant passion. Albert is also a clinical psychologist, teacher of Jewish meditation and writer, with her first book becoming a National Book Award finalist.

For 40 years, Jim Allen was a Professor of Psychology. In 2004, Allen began taking all of the photography classes he could manage through the Art Department at the College of Saint Rose, from Photo 1 through Graduate-level courses. Since 2010, he has had the fortune to exhibit his work both regionally and nationally. Most of Allen’s work has a “psychological” focus where he explores the “psychological self” through the photographic image.

ARTIST STATEMENT The natural world has always looked awesomely beautiful and pulsing with mystery to me, even in its most mundane, frightening or gruesome details. In recent years, I have also become fascinated by the sense of time passing, with every part of this world impermanent and in flux, whether grass, trees, rocks or whole ecosystems. Only the time frame differs. WEBSITE www.gailalbert.com

ARTIST STATEMENT I tend to shoot a lot of my images so that they create “multiple” layers. I do this by shooting into reflective surfaces (mirrors, windows) or creating double exposures in-camera. The layering of images often provides a dream-like or surreal-like image to psychologically engage the viewer. Most of my images are shot using medium format cameras with 120 B&W film. I process all my film and images in the darkroom. WEBSITE www.jimallenphoto.weebly.com

J.H. ARONSON

4 (Woodstock, NY)

JAN ARRIGO

ABOUT THE ARTIST

J.H. Aronson has drawn and painted all his life. He recieved his first camera at 9, dark room at 10, “Go-fer” for F.S.Lincoln during school years. Cornell Art and Architecture, Columbia Arch. Rome Prize in Environmental Design, Guggenheim Italian Urban Design doing aerial photography. Aronson is interested in panoramic images and panoramic drawings pieced together from photographs. He worked with a vintage 1906 Cirkut camera, but quickly superseded by the digital camera and Photoshop. Current project is a continuous Aerial Panorama of the Hudson from New York City to Albany and Back working with over 44,000 digital images.

Jan Arrigo is an award winning, ICP educated, New Orleans artist. Her work has been presented at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Soho Photo, The Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans, Carmel’s Center for Photographic Art, the SE Center for Photography, and The Center for Fine Art Photography, among others. Her solo show “Jan Arrigo, The Corpse is the Wax Museum” was held over from 2016 to 2017 in conjunction with Photo Nola. In 2019 she won second place at the National Juried Award show, St. Tammany Art Association.

ARTIST STATEMENT For most of my working life have been interested in the problem of describing the landscape and urbanscape. First exposed to primitive vernacular Japanese maps through Bernard Rudofsky’s show at MOMA and then again at MOMA, a 1959 exhibit of Art Sinsabaugh’s panoramas. These were behind my thinking in developing my own ideas of description and imaging of the landscape. Growing up in NYC and access to aerial view points such as the Empire State Building started my whole fascination with Earth images from above. When I got into an airplane and later helicopters—Wow!

ARTIST STATEMENT What is it about being near water that stirs the soul? Abstract shoreline photos intuit life forms and open an interplay dialogue. While most transcend recognized forms, some are discernible after a longer gaze. Created from seeing patterns, reflections, light sources and movement, as opposed to process or materials, the act of creating in order to reflect and extrapolate feelings by investigating color and compositional balance best describes my process here.

Back’s work has been published on yourdailyphotograph.com “Can Opener”; “10x10x10 Tieton 2012 Marquand Editions; Photographic Education Society, “Portfolio ’78 &’79.” ARTIST STATEMENT Polagrams are one-of-a-kind, camera-less Polaroid images made as photograms. Because these images are formed in complete darkness, chance and intuition combine with well-thought-out procedures to create a whimsical effect. The results were unpredictable and sometimes surprising. Polaroid paper create it’s own serendipitous effects, sometimes mysterious. The figure provides kinetic energy and creates a context and connective meaning for the objects, inviting the viewer to create a scenario. Just as in real life, the same materials and actions, even in the same hands, yield different results at different times. WEBSITE www.JohnBackArt.com

JAN BELL

9 (Bowling Green, OH)

PATT BLUE

(Kingston, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Jan Bell’s work reveals an intimate view of the natural world, reaching into the subtle beauty within its form. Each photo represents an opportunity to consider the subject, almost apart from its meaning or function. Whether it be the inner folds of a plant, a sand-swept dune, or a distant coastline, Bell reveals only as much as she cares to share. The pursuit of untouched landscapes has taken me throughout North America.

Patt Blue has been an American documentary photographer, memoir writer, artist, and photographic educator for 40 years. She is southern born and bred, and was based in New York City from 1975-2004.

Bell’s work is exhibited in galleries, published in books and magazines, and garnered numerous awards, the highlight being the top award for “Agave” in the Ansel Adams competition. ARTIST STATEMENT My recent work depicts a quiet look at the natural world. Through the use of long exposure photography, water is rendered in an ethereal way; the movement of clouds is softened. Black and white reduces the distractions associated with color imagery. Because of that, my work is no longer simply a snapshot of the world; it becomes an abstraction of it and that changes how we interpret it My work is printed on museum quality fine art paper, using archival pigments. WEBSITE www.bellimages.com

Blue is the author of the memoir, “Living On A Dream: A Marriage Tale.” She was co-founding education staff and faculty at The International Center of Photography. Her best know work was done for Life Magazine on difficult subjects including poverty, mental illness, and teen pregnancy. ARTIST STATEMENT In my artistic work I investigate universal themes of human existential struggle. In recent times, I employ the psycho-biography of my own life to portray the greater lived experience of others. Currently, I am creating a book of diary text and photographs that uses my own marriage to examine the polarization between opposite genders, when overshadowed by the domestic violence of early childhood trauma. It is titled “Hugging The Walls: A Wife’s Diary”. WEBSITE www.pattblue.com

MICHAEL BOGDANFFY-KREIGH

11 (Beacon, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST Michael Bogdanffy-Kriegh is a self trained photographer living and working in Beacon, NY. His work has appeared in numerous exhibitions including Flora, at Davis Orton Gallery, and Welcome: Page by Page, an exhibit of artist books curated by Hannah Frieser at CPW in Woodstock. His first Solo Show will open at Woodstock Artist Association Museum in February of 2021. Bogdanffy-Kreigh’s photographs have been published in Shots Magazine, issue #129 and issue #130, and The Eye of Photography. Bogdanffy-Kreigh is co-moderator of the monthly Photographer’s Salon at CPW. ARTIST STATEMENT Charles Ives’ Unanswered Question is an organizational metaphor for my work. The music has three parts; a continuous hum or “music of the spheres;” a poser of the question; a chorus trying, unsuccessfully, to answer. My photographic practice is a meditative dipping into the hum, a stream of observations. From this stream I select, embellish (or not) and make assemblages which are not definitive questions or answers, just meditations on the state of my being within the hum The image in this submission is part of the “Dark Matter” series.” WEBSITE www.mbkriegh.com

(Rhinebeck, NY)

ARTIST STATEMENT This work, depicting my sister getting her head shaved, is part of my larger exploration on the themes of feminism, consumerism and body image. The confusion and slight disgust on the hairdresser’s face symbolizes the internlized misogyny we all must unpack. WEBSITE www.samanthabrinkley.wixsite.com/portfolio

JO ANN CHAUS

(New York, NY)

ARTIST STATEMENT I prefer to do series, or make a series from photos that seem to “talk” to each other. This photo is from a series done on this hard working burlesque troupe that traveled around Maine, performing in some pretty rustic environments.

ARTIST STATEMENT After seven years of documenting and exploring my relationships with and within my family of origin in the self published book Sweetie & Hansom, I began this current series of staged self portraits, appropriating the garb and demeanor of women of my mother’s generation, the 1950’s, Conversations with Myself. As I personify each woman, I interpret what I believe were the burdens they carried as dictates and expectations of that era, and explore my own inner landscape in relation to theirs as wives and mothers, channeling the past and the present simultaneously, evaluating and supporting women’s progress in society.

Carol Chu is fascinated by the extraordinary in the ordinary. Her intuition leads her camera to the small beauties and complexities of our world. She’s a native of the Hudson Valley and works in both digital and analog photography.

ARTIST STATEMENT In Tidal Zones, I examine intertidal areas, including saltwater, freshwater, and estuarine preserves, in Southern California (at Point Loma in San Diego and the fragile ecosystem along the Tijuana Estuary) and Connecticut (marsh and tidal areas along the coastline). I look for contained worlds within defined spaces, depressions, crevices, cracks, holes, dips, and natural abstractions in the landscape, where layers of light, color, pattern, and texture both reveal and hide the complexity of nature. These explorations for me are meditative as I look for new ways of observing and experiencing these constantly shifting and fragile environments. WEBSITE www.isabelchenoweth.com

ARTIST STATEMENT

I draw, sew, and paint on old film strips, causing me to consider the expectation of photography.This image, Watching the Currents, began as a photo of the ocean. Although it still shows through by taking on the visual reference to waves, it also asks us to question what we are really seeing.

I enjoy doing pictures of architecture. This picture was taken on the top floor of the mill in Saugerties, where I live. The mill was a part of a 19th Century paper mill, which has been repurposed as low income senior housing. Much of the original structure is still observable, like these skylights and great beams at the top of the building. I was attracted to the play of light on the walls.

FRANCES LINA CONDE

21 (Woodstock, NY)

DAVID CUNNINGHAM

(Woodstock, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

F. Lina Conde now lives in Woodstock and is primarily a self taught artist. Her extensive travels have taken her to many remote areas. Canary Islands, Saharah desert in Morocco, are just a few. Travel brings awe, and connects her to sources like no other experience.

Her recent work seeks interpreting the more ethereal. She received a BA in Biology, has participated in numerous studies, Artist in Residency programs, and has exhibited and sold work worldwide. ARTIST STATEMENT I began this project in 2015 while traveling during a self directed 5 month art residency intensive. I was inspired and began “OPENING PORTALS” which has lead to an ongoing series, currently at 10. I am showing #2 of 10. As an artist, my recent work consists of constructing small installations in isolated landscapes, and photographing them. Momentarily interpreting and capturing the “energies, frequency residues” which I feel, in that specific place. Using minimalistic sculptural installations the landscape and my perspective, I aim to portray the complex unseen world through my work. WEBSITE www.artistfrancesconde.com

Cunningham currently lives in Woodstock, NY. Prior to (and hopefully after) the COVID pandemic he served as the Saturday docent here at CPW. ARTIST STATEMENT As a minimalist still life photographer I look to make images that are both quiet and unassuming. Uncomplicated, without clutter. I shoot in black and white to render the subject in its purest form, without the vibrancy of color to influence the viewer’s visual experience. My goal in making a photograph is to evoke the feelings of reading a favorite haiku. WEBSITE www.davidmorriscunningham.com

ARTIST STATEMENT Caitlin with Recycled Roses existed at one time, but as with many ambiguous environments, is since buried under sand, tires, concrete, and mud; vines now inhabiting the place of a previously abandoned pool. This photograph is from an ongoing series of work incorporating collaborative portraiture alongside landscapes that explore the relationships between the residents of New Orleans and the shifting environments that surround them. WEBSITE www.sarrahdanziger.com

ARTIST STATEMENT Lockdown, I can’t continue work on my current project. Frustrated, angry, cooped up in my office obsessively working on... Whatever. It’s been pouring rain for hours, days, when the sun breaks through. I go into the stream out back to shoot and cleanse my mind, just do something other than obsess. The water is roaring – in full flood. Light pierces down through cracks in the high canopy picking out bits of the torrent for me to work with. There is a confusion and power in these images, which resonates in the face of this raging pandemic storm. WEBSITE www.leeday.photography.com

Silent Stages, a monograph of his work, was published by Daylight Books in 2020.

ARTIST STATEMENT My photographs challenge traditional ways of seeing by becoming stages where observation gives way to imagination. I am motivated by experimentation and transformation, by a vision where disparate layers of time and space interact. I use montage for the melding of alternate states, abstraction to emphasize an edgy suspension between reality and dream, and the element of water to provide a stage that is infinitely malleable and suggestive of the irrational. WEBSITE www.lauradodson.net

ALICE FALL

DEENA FEINBERG

ARTIST STATEMENT

ABOUT THE ARTIST

I find reassurance in the presence of trees. Their existence embodies stability and strength to me– always yielding to the cycle of change and never resisting it. It’s disconcerting to see them uprooted, branches fragmented, limbs disconnected, lying alone. I look to trees for a lesson in acceptance– to find peace in lack of control, to know that nothing is permanent, and to find hope in this impermanence. Trees remind me that everything, both the tangible and intangible, is in a constant state of regeneration.

Deena Feinberg is a photographer living in Rhinebeck, NY. She approaches photography as a medium for her imagination that can stir emotion through an ethereal depiction of the ordinary. Deena has been a working photographer for the last 25 years in interior design, portraiture, editorial and fine art. She has exhibited her work nationally. Deena received her BA in Psychology with a minor in Photography from Southampton College, Long Island University. She is certified as a Therapeutic Riding Instructor and Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning and currently teaches children and adults with disabilities in Esopus, NY.

(Rhinebeck, NY)

ARTIST STATEMENT I photograph landscapes in the Hudson River Valley that I walk repeatedly in all seasons; I have become intimate with these landscapes—emotionally, psychologically and physically. In my early morning visits, I am particularly drawn to nuances of light including the changing colors and shapes that appear at this time. Shifting my perspective in places I am so familiar with reinforces my appreciation of and connection to this land. As an element of my daily meditation practice, making these images provides a quietness and calm that counterbalances the stories in my mind. WEBSITE www.deenafeinberg.com

CONNIE FRISBEE HOUDE

31 (Albany, NY)

TRIONA FRITSCH

(Hollowville, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

As a humanitarian photojournalist, Connie Frisbee Houde has strived to depict the spirit and sacredness of people and their surroundings. The cultural heritage and way of life of many people are often threatened by global events, war and industrialization. Houde focused on the nobleness of these people as they strive to keep their autonomy, culture and community alive. In this new series, Connie is applying what she has learned about the dignity of people and place her own life experience at home during the inner centering time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Triona Fritsch is an artist living by a stream in Hollowville, NY. While she works across a variety of mediums and disciplines, including photography, textiles, encaustics and mixed media installation, the constant theme throughout her work is the exploration of her relationship to nature, place, and self. She immerses herself in the process of learning and growing alongside the plants that are part of her daily life. Along the way, the lifelong themes of memory, consumption, preservation, neglect, and interpersonal relationships continuously emerge, often in unexpected ways.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I have combined my love for travel and adventure with my interest in sharing my experiences. I create photo essays with the images as they are placed in an exhibition or digital essays created by combining them with narrative, interviews, site sounds, poetry and/or music. Now this is coming forth in the very personal examination of memories and there relationship to space. These images will reflect the house my husband and I restored and the memories of that process.

In my Night Spirits series I allow myself to breathe and move in my garden, capturing moments between myself, the plants, and the layers of experience surrounding us. They are my celebration of the spiritual gestures and reverberations that I feel during these sessions, and the ability to take more of a painterly approach with my camera. “Night Spirits”, (Alone) In the fading light, When moments last longer, And blend together, I move with the spirits, Of the plants, Of my mother, Of myself, Swimming in the world of the night, And life, All around me.”

ARTIST STATEMENT

www.maruda.us

I am a seek-and-find photographer, working primarily in the Hudson Valley and NYC. With an eye formed by the canons of art history, I look for images that are ambiguous, abstracted, composite, layered—or just eye-catching and beautiful. My pictures are, in effect, collages, composed of disparate elements that combine for an instant through the interplay of light, reflection, transparency, motion, perspective, time. Ephemeral moments all.

WENDA HABENICHT

THOMAS HACKETT

(Kingston, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Wenda Habenicht grew up in Boulder, CO and attended Beloit College in Wisconsin before moving to New York, New York to earn her MFA at Columbia University. While living in Brooklyn, she created numerous works of architecturally and/or anthropomorphically derived sculpture, often participatory and sited outdoors. Wenda’s first large-scale outdoor sculpture was built in 1982 at The Midwest Coast, Caledonia, IL followed by works built and exhibited in the Eastern & Midwestern United States and Canada. After a twenty-two year hiatus from making art, Wenda started taking photographs in 2012 and later returned to creating works on paper and building sculpture.

Tom Hackett is a self-taught landscape and aspiring fine art photographer who has been “doing photography” since he was a child. His work is often surreal, abstract and whimsical, occasionally comical. He combines opportunistic and staged images with textures, effects and other tools, primarily in Photoshop, to produce compositions with a painterly effect. For Tom, photography is a way of knowing, remembering and loving the world. To paraphrase Henry David Thoreau, Tom has been photographing all his life without knowing that it is not the pictures he is after.

ARTIST STATEMENT

This work draws from my interest in compositing and embracing the surreal. The serenity of sunset on a calm sea is enhanced when that “sea” is a cloud bank.

My photographic diptychs are two equal size images which I digitally place side-by-side to create one photograph. My process for these photographs is to juxtapose unexpected images to create a work that transforms the subjects into a new context. It’s not only the image itself, but the relationship with another image to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts that is important in these works. WEBSITE www.wendahabenicht.com

BRUCE HOOKE

NANCY GRACE HORTON

(Portsmouth, NH)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Bruce Hooke is a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist based in western Massachusetts. He studied ceramic sculpture at Cranbook Academy of Art (MFA 1994) and Wesleyan University (BA 1990), however, photography has been his primary medium for over 15 years. His work focuses on the evolving human relationship with nature as well as on issues of gender and nature, male power and vulnerability, and the experience of being human in today’s world.

Nancy Grace Horton’s work has been exhibited at the Newport Art Museum, The Danforth Museum, Griffin Museum, New York Photo Festival, the A.I.R. Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, the Robin Rice Gallery in Manhattan, NY, and in numerous solo exhibitions. Her work was recently acquired by the Newport Art Museum and The Danforth Museum.

ARTIST STATEMENT The time of the man in the suit is over, at least in its 1950’s version. But there are still many messages telling men we’re supposed to be strong, in command, dominating people and nature. How does it feel if a man is portrayed as vulnerable, exposed and even beautiful? Can the male body be seen as anything other than threatening, especially in this age of #MeToo? These are some of the questions I ask myself as I confront the dark legacy of my male body and the stories society tells me about what it means to be a man.

Recipient of numerous grants and awards, recently an Artist Entrepreneurial Grants, and working as an Adjunct Professor, she also creates projects that work with participants of all ages to use photography to explore personal identity. She holds an MFA from Lesley University Art + Design. ARTIST STATEMENT

Working as a photo-based artist, my series, “Ms. Behavior, Mad Women, Mr.Mrs., Being 13”, and recent photogram cyanotypes, utilize gender roles as inspiration to provoke thought and stimulate discussion. Using humor, irony—I distill the angst of both feminism and the Playboy era into a photograph.

DIANE KING

MICHAEL KNAUTH

(Woodstock, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Diane King lives and works in the Hudson Valley and New York City, where she has studied at the School of Visual Arts and the International Center for Photography. Her work has appeared at Art Basal, Art Palm Springs, Art San Diego, Ad Art Show 2020, and a solo exhibition, The Treachery of Impermanence, at Anatasia Photo New York.

After a long career in academia in such positions as Library Director, Director of Distance Learning and Instructional Technology Support, and Director of the Center for Teaching Learning and Technology, Michael Knauth retired to his weekend home in Woodstock. Looking for a creative outlet, he chose photography which has now become a passion. Until recently he was a member of the Center for Photography at Woodstock Board of Directors. He has exhibited at the A. Smith Gallery in their “Structure” and “Vistas” exhibits and has received their Directors Award.

ARTIST STATEMENT I began exploring the concept of space when I attended George Balanchine’s School of American Ballet. I explored space in a visual choreography with other bodies, and the air that surrounded us. As a photographer I strive to capture not only the emotional impact of my subject, but also the visceral imprint of the negative spaces in which my subject exists. This intangible aspect fascinates me, the power of voids to calm, or unsettle, our psyche. How proximity of one person or object to another, or to nothing, becomes the essence of the image, the catalyst for the observer’s reaction.

ARTIST STATEMENT My images, which are inspired by the long tradition of still life painting, attempt to reinterpret the genre through the use of modern photography techniques, especially through the use of color, texture, light and shadow.

WILLIAM KOENIG-VINICOMBE

51 (New Paltz, NY)

RUTH LAUER MANENTI

(Catskill, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

William Koenig-Vinicombe is a photography student at SUNY New Paltz, graduating with his Bachelor of Fine Arts in December 2020. His work is often inspired by his upbringing, relationships, and the psychology of human behavior. Creating visual works that allow him to analyze the world through these aspects of his identity, Will’s primary objective is to offer the viewer a moment to consider the relationship between the self and the environments we interact with. Using a combination of digital and analog image making processes, his creative interests are broad, explored through many visual mediums.

Ruth Lauer Manenti lives in a small house in the Catskill mountains. Her background is in painting, yet 8 years ago was given a large format camera from someone she greatly admire. Manenti taught herself how to use the camera and gradually accomplished what she was striving through photography. Manenti’s mother was also an artist. She left behind a legacy of paintings and writings that sadly are still unknown and unpublished. Part of her determination as an artist is to reward her mother for her efforts and to create a continuum. Since breaking her neck in a car crash at the age of twenty, Manenti has developed a spiritual life and has adapted a way of life simpler and more ritualistic than she had known before.

ARTIST STATEMENT It’s a bizarre thought to me that the landscapes we live on are a completely unaffected aspect of our world that is in turmoil. Through a series of analog manipulation processes, I alter 35mm images of the undisturbed landscapes around me. The images feature abandoned dwellings left to decay into the land, creating a post-apocalyptic, even alien, representation of the inevitable trajectory of our modern world. This project serves as a means of recreating the feelings of unfamiliarity I’ve found myself experiencing in the year 2020.

ARTIST STATEMENT

WEBSITE

Since Seeing You is a book of photographs, I made last year while sheltering in place during a year that felt like it had more anguish and uncertainty than others. The anxiety that I was feeling and the sadness for the world was prominent in my thoughts. I wished to be in a larger space, outside, where my distress over the world could be held while experiencing the openness, wisdom and spirit of nature. It felt crucial to offer something of pathos during a time of such hardship. I tried through my photographs, to appease my sense of uncertainty and chaos with a trace of the staggering beauty I found in the woods behind my house.

NICOLE LEONARDO

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Caroline LeFevre was born in Connecticut, raised in Indiana, and then landed back in the Northeast. She is a photographer, archivist, and creative producer in New York. She holds a BFA in Photography and a BA in Art History from Indiana University and an MLIS from Pratt Institute. In 2011, she was a recipient of an Andrew W. Mellon grant for research in photographic preservation at the Image Permanence Institute in Rochester, NY.

Nicole Leonardo is an emerging artist based out of New York. She recently received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the state university of New York at New Paltz. Her work often explores concepts of time, change and human connection. She is particularly interested in ideas of memory and familial relationships. Drawing inspiration from these aspects of her life, she aims to create a space of nostalgia and reflection for viewers to examine their own experiences.

ARTIST STATEMENT My work seeks to capture moments that no one else sees, especially from quotidian life and crossover between cultures. My color photographs are imbued with a sense of nostalgia, like a haunting detail from a deeply buried memory, while feeling as though one is just now experiencing it with crisp vibrance. In this photograph, the title references a specific memory from Tokyo. WEBSITE www.carolinemlefevre.com

ARTIST STATEMENT My parents’ separation marked the turning point of who they’ve become today. “You’re Not Really Here, It’s Just the Radio”, is centered around my relationship to them and the bonds that fractured. I look at my parents, unable to recognize in them a part of my foundation. I find myself longing for any version of them other than the current. I collage polaroid transfers in an attempt to create distant, dream-like memories that reference details of my past. In my images, I place my parents younger selves upon a pedestal and show them in an almost angelic light, as if severed from reality and lost within the gaps of what I remember. The polaroid transfers allude to the misrepresentation of memory over time. Through this process, I fulfill my need to patch together the pieces of my memory that I believe to be accurate.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My trips to Morocco, Cuba and Japan have been a major inspiration. I love the synergy between my photographs and collages. The colors, textures and shapes excite me. This photo collage in this show is comprised of fragments of photos taken in Cuba.

It’s extremely tough to make a statement about a piece of work in 2020. I mean where does one being to attempt to untangle the cobwebs of emotions brought about by this intensely turbulent year. As a species we’ve all had to adapt, and adjust our minds to the reality of the “new normal.” Here, in this still taken in Beacon, NY, the day after the presidential results were called I hit the streets with the intention of capturing a composition that I hoped would reflect the reality of our times.

DAN MCCORMACK

(Accord, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Deb Marsden loves taking pictures of fast moving water, windy storms - nature at its’ most active state. Marsden started out as a new photographer with a hand me down camera from her father., an old Arbus camera that required a separate light meter to capture the images. She spent hours in a darkroom loving every minute. Then going on to explore digital mediums, it gave Marsden a different perspective with opportunities to capture nature’s forces. She is drawn especially to the water and will photograph everything that reflects it.

Dan McCormack studied Photography from 1962-1967 at the Institute of Design, the New Bauhaus, at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago where he studied with Aaron Siskind, Arthur Siegal, Wynn Bullock and Joe Jachna. Next, he earned an MFA in Photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1967 to 1970 having studied with Barbara Crane and Ken Josephson. He began photographing the nude with Wendy, his wife while in graduate school. Then for over forty years, he explored various techniques and processes while photographing the nude as a central theme.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Artist Statement

I photograph nature scenes, specifically active water and wind. I also photograph people and animals capturing the expressions that make them each unique.

I began photographing the nude while I was a grad school student and I have continued for over fifty years. About three years ago I began shooting with my cell phone. The cell phone camera has made making an image so spontaneous. These images are of the nude with toys and or shadows. In my submission to this exhibit I have submitted works from about two years with the same model. We share a sense of play with the diverse objects. There is little direction from me when we begin the shoot. The model begins and I follow.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Julio Nazario is a photographer and mixed-media artist whose work is in museums and private collections.

Hannah Neal recived her first camera on her 15th birthday and has been captivated by the art of storytelling through images ever since. Neal has been drawn to the dark, dramatic beauty of black and white film, and the challenge ofalternative processes. The alchemy between artists and subject fascinates her and she is capticated by the moment when the image floats up through the chemisty and you can what you imagine in your mind appear on paper. Neal specializes in fine art portraiture and photography of the performing arts. Her work has been exhibited and published throughout the US and internationally.

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work reflects decades of how I’ve given form to my experience of reality. Over the years, my photographs and etching prints have defined and revealed my state of mind and interpretation of a particular location and time.

The Left Bank series pays tribute to the Photo Secession movement and the Pictorialists whose work revolutionized the way the world viewed photography as an art form. Like these early 20th century photographers often did, I am creating portraits of artists, dancers, writers, musicians and others who inspire me, depicting them as they might have appeared during that era. The images in this series are captured on film and made using the same lighting techniques, materials and traditional processes employed by the Pictorialists.

ARTIST STATEMENT This work documents macro-landscapes on found rusted steel mechanical and/or other deteriorated surfaces and objects. These photos embody a search for visual and social relevance and the discovery of unnoticed imagery, associations and relationships. Inspired by other artists, photographers, everyday experiences and encounters, my photos are evidence that fascinating visual material is widely accessible and perceptible upon deliberate examination. My work has been exhibited in museums, local galleries and establishments and is part of individual collections.

ARTIST STATEMENT My image work often explores fragility, vulnerability, strength, stamina, and beauty in the daily experience of life and the natural world. After the unexpected death of my fiancé in late 2017, my current still work leans heavily on abstraction in the natural world. My moving imagery adds time and movement elements to that still photographic exploration experience.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Shedrick Pelt is a D.C. creative originally from Huntsville, Alabama by way of Harlem, New York. He is eager to apply his passion and expertise in photography to a creative mission through his 10 plus years of photojournalism, exhibition curation and creative directing. Shedrick spent much of 2020 documenting civic actions in and around Washington D.C. and exploring the very important place the district holds in the conversation surrounding the current social justice movement.

Michelle Peters is an East Coast based photographer. She received her MFA in Photography at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2019 and holds a BFA in Photography from the Otis College of Art and Design. She currently works at Princeton University. ARTIST STATEMENT

Whether I’m covering concerts or protests, my work is largely connected to community and culture with a style driven by an urge to be the fly on the wall, capturing an experience without disrupting the nature of the moment. 35mm and medium format film are my favorite mediums to shoot with because I believe it adds soul to my work.

Calla Lily (Self Portrait), is a part of, “Prick, Saccharine, Shatter”, which is a series of photographs that reveal my limits of understanding about the people, landscapes and situations I’ve known dearest. The photographs unveil what I choose to ignore and see, my blindsides, and the archetypes I have constructed for myself via personal and societal pressures. The image plane enables a critique of gendered power dynamics, conveys the atmosphere of apprehension caused by my anxiety disorder, and questions who controls one’s history — specifically mine — and in turn allows me to rewrite it.

SAM SCOGGINS

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Angela P. Schapiro, born in England and educated in France, now makes her home in Woodstock, NY, USA, where she established her studio in 2004. Her work is widely exhibited and published both in the US and internationally and covers many genres.

Sam Scoggins is a graduate of the London College Of Communication (1980) and was awarded his M.A. from the Royal College Of Art (1983). Following a 10 year period in academia at Canterbury Christ Church University, Scoggins pursued a successful career as the Creative Director of a Web Design Agency and as the Managing Director of an Internet software company. In 2007 Sam Scoggins relocated to the US and has refocused his career on his fine art practice, which incorporates a conceptual and aesthetic interest in the intersection of environmental concerns with landscape photography and experimental film.

Schapiro is a lecturer and public speaker who is bi-lingual in English and French with a working knowledge of German and Spanish. She enjoys teaching and sharing her knowledge of photography.” ARTIST STATEMENT In an era when anyone with a digital camera or smart phone can take a good shot, there is art to photography that goes way beyond taking just a good shot. The art is in what I do with my work in post-production. The pleasure of being able to enhance and manipulate images way beyond their original incarnations. Photography is like that for me. I see something, I feel something, I have a vision. I use my camera to fix that moment. I then edit the shot to bring out the story and show people what my original vision was. WEBSITE www.angelapschapirophotography.com

ARTIST STATEMENT This project consists of landscape photographs of landscapes that do not exist. I generated the images using a GAN (Generative Adversarial Network). A GAN is a form of Artificial Intelligence. As we humans destroy our own natural environment, one day we may have to inhabit an artificial habitat generated for us by A.I.’s. It is towards this dystopian, but increasingly likely future that this project looks. WEBSITE www.samscoggins.com

CARLA SHAPIRO

EARNEST SHAW

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Carla Schapiro is a photographer and educator based in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York. Her photographic projects explore loss and longing, memory and nostalgia, womanhood, aging, and the human condition, often situated in the rural and natural landscapes that surround her home and studio in the mountains. She frequently employs the use of alternative photographic equipment, processes, and materials, such as platinum printing, the wet-plate collodion process, pinhole cameras, and specialty papers, all of which have the effect of creating unique and tactile works.

Ernest Shaw has been making and exhibiting art since the mid 1970’s. Originally working with large scale welded steel, granite and bluestone sculptures, he also produced a large body of paintings and drawings, and exhibited wood sculpture in galleries around the country. With work in about 50 museum, university and municipal collections, and hundreds of private collections, including the Nelson Rockefeller collection, he turned his attention to photography three years ago. He has had several exhibits of photographs and photo-drawings in the mid-Hudson Valley, including the Muroff-Cutler Gallery at SUNY Stone Ridge, and at the Aaron Rezny Studio in Kingston.

ARTIST STATEMENT In the time of corona virus my mother passed away. She died alone. In silence, solitude, and darkness, I photograph aspects of nature around me. I add fire to these subjects as a form of light and visual brilliance. Fire burns ever-upward and cannot be polluted, my sorrow slowly burning away. I photograph at night and in color. I witness leaves, thistles, moss, and many other natural wonders burn. I am in awe. I watch and photograph flames and smoke dance and change color. The image transforms in front of me as I work on letting go of my grief. WEBSITE www.carlashapiro.com

ARTIST STATEMENT Three years ago, in my fifty-year-long career as artist, I turned to photography, exploring our place in the order of things, the nature of “self”, and mortality. The No-Self photodrawings combine photography, drawing, painting and sculpture, revealing not only what the artist sees, but how one sees, what informs from within his or her mind, and without. These works, constructed and deconstructed, are shot and reshot. Arguably an evolving image, they are “complete” when visual appearance and the creative processes—narrative, psychological, spiritual and visual—are resolved and focused.

THERESA SWIDORSKI

(Mount Tremper, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Kelly Sinclair was born in Manhatten, New York and grew up in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. She currently lives and works in Woodstock, New York.

Theresa Swidorski has been making photo images since 2000, mainly without formal academic study. Swidorski grew up in the Midwest and have lived my entire adult life in North East. She has had the good fortune to study informally as an adult. Neal’s background influences how she sees and what she deems essential. Neal has shown her photos regionally in the Mohawk Hudson Regional, Albany Center Gallery and many Capital District Photo Regional exhibitions.

Sinclair’s photographs have appeared in Chronogram magazine, the Hudson Valley Guide, Black & White magazine and the Catskill Mountain Region Guide, as well as at the Wilder Gallery in Catskill, NY. In 2017, she was commissioned by Catskill Waters to take images of the Little Beaver Kill. Her waterfall image taken at Platte Clove during her Artist-in-Residency appeared on the cover of the Spring 2018 edition of the Catskill Center’s newsletter. ARTIST STATEMENT My work reflects my love of the Hudson Valley where I live and the solace I feel being in nature. I attempt to capture the inherent stillness and beauty in the details. WEBSITE www.kellysinclairphotography.com

ARTIST STATEMENT I am a fine art photographer. I concentrate mainly on scenes of emptiness in the modern world either in daily life or in nature. I am a film photographer because I feel it offers me a unique opportunity to be hands on in a tactile way to manipulate and effect the meaning in a print. WEBSITE www.tswidorskiphotography.com

KEN TANNENBAUM

RICHARD TOMASULO

(Albany, NY)

ABOUT THE ARTIST

During Ken Tannenbaum’s formative years, his thinking was formed by a diversity of the people in his life. After college, he assisted NYC photographers where his career solving image puzzles was born. It spanned decades, working on myriad projects in many industries. Always refreshing, his image making changed radically to creating personal work after 9/11 when his son was attending grade school in Tribeca, three blocks from the tragedy. During this period, he purchased a 19th century farmhouse in Catskill, moving several years later on a bet that it was just what he and the family needed…and it was.

Richard is a photographer working in Albany, New York.

ARTIST STATEMENT My interests are mostly narrative in nature with an occasional nod to humor. The images are often conjured, but can be born from serendipity. I sketch an idea to remain aware as it comes…for easily it disappears. I often dwell inside a theme called Commentary & Other Quandaries. What assignation I make comes as I view a print, when I’m often surprised by the result; it’s as if I’m seeing my thinking for the first time. Surely concerned with composition, in many it’s the form and beauty that matter most. The gallery conversations are often as gratifying as the work. WEBSITE www.kentannenbaum.com

ARTIST STATEMENT This photograph is part of a series of still-life works featuring building supplies and architectural hardware.

ARTIST STATEMENT This image is selected from a series, “Don’t Touch Your Mask.” This short series is based on our “masked” society after the infectious virus, COVID-19, changed the way we live our everyday lives on many levels. WEBSITE www.lexivincento.myportfolio.com

ARTIST STATEMENT My photograms build on and develop my work in abstract black and white photography. Using a process that blurs the boundaries between sculpture, drawing, and photography, I manipulate and layer Japanese beading thread to create sculptural compositions in the studio. These are then placed onto Ilford matt surface photographic paper and exposed to light, to create a photogram comprised of white, almost hand-drawn lines on a charcoal-like background. Chance plays a role in the work; where threads left loose, reposition themselves, creating variations within each print in the editions of five prints. WEBSITE www.teneshwebber.com

ARTIST STATEMENT This Pool Noir series was initially shot at twilight, and the photographs had a feeling of isolation and vulnerability. Now in full light, they explore sensuality, and a different feeling of isolation. Cropped figures, lush floating flowers, and swaths of color imbue a disconnect between what is a person and what is a body part. Tween models emphasize the vulnerability and disconnect of sensuality and objectification of bodies. The shooting process requires prior knowledge of the light on site at different times of day. I am often in the water directing the model/flowers/props and arranging reflective objects. WEBSITE www.swampphotos.com

ARTIST STATEMENT My work explores the sense of place and identity, through both portraiture and landscape. I work in many photographic media, including silver gelatin, kallitypes, cyanotypes, intaglio prints, pigment prints, and primarily shoot 4x5 film. WEBSITE www.aewhitney.com
