PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION

“Contemplative Photography: Meditations in the Woods”

I am having a photography exhibition at the Levi Heywood Memorial Library, 55 West Lynde St., Gardner, MA. The exhibition will run from March 1st until March 29, 2024.

Artist's Statement:

Instructions for living a life:

Pay attention

Be astonished

Tell about it

Mary Oliver “Sometimes”

Mary Oliver’s instructions above have become the guiding principles for my photography. Photography has gained importance in my life since it has become a spiritual practice. I try to spend time in nature on a regular basis. It is a time for meditation and a time to clear my thoughts. With a quiet mind I wait to see what calls to me, what “shimmers”. Then I try to capture the subject in a personal, intimate, and emotional way. I am not interested in simply documenting the world, but trying to reveal something essential about myself and the world around me.

If I have been successful, some of these images will touch you, make you feel something of the beauty, astonishment, and wonder I felt during the time I spent creating them.

Each image is accompanied by a Haiku poem, written to express in a few simple words the connection and feelings that I experienced at the time I made the photograph.

I hope you enjoy the time you spend with these images and their invitation to journey inward, enjoy some serenity, and see the world with fresh eyes.

Cody Bratt The Other Stories

Cody Bratt's newly completed fine art photography series, The Other Stories, is now on display at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Boston, MA. The Other Stories is a collection of mixed-media and archival images from Cody’s ancestral history. The body of work shares the less-recollected stories of violence, substance abuse, and mental health disorders over generations, bringing light to an unrevealed family history.

The solo show is on exhibition at the Griffin Museum though December 10, at which point the show will travel to Chicago for another exhibition with Filter Photo opening in February 2024. Additionally, Griffin Museum will host a virtual artist talk with Cody on November 14, at 7:00 p.m.

Explore Cody Bratt’s series The Other Stories online or in person at the Griffin Museum of Photography.

Homma Takashi @ TOP

Revolution 9: Homma Takashi is a compact and varied presentation of Homma's recent photography at the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum until January 21st, 2024. It's not a retrospective, a truly daunting proposition at this point in his career given his prolific output, but a selection of works produced in rooms fashioned as camera obscuras functioning as pinhole cameras, work produced by this method being a recurring concern of Homma in recent years.

Homma is something of a shape-shifting artist who has produced a widely varied body of work, most of which at a glance might appear to have few common denominators but which uniformly intrigues, stimulates, or amuses, sometimes all three at once, leading perhaps to his eventually settling into a role as a prominent Japanese conceptual photographer today.

He came to wider notice with the straightforward series "Tokyo Suburbia" (1998), but was soon veering off into ambiguous territory with his "Tokyo and My Daughter" (2000) which purportedly presented his daughter growing up in the urban landscape of the megalopolis but in fact the child in question was not his at all but the daughter of a friend. With this he was off and running. Projects on Scandinavian mushrooms, all the buildings on Ginza Street (Tokyo), and windows in buildings designed by Le Corbusier around the world, to name just a few among many, have followed.

Much if not all of what is seen in this exhibition begs the question: "How many and which giants of photography has he referenced?" or perhaps it could also be posed as: "By which giants of photography has he not been influenced?" Seriously, though, the leading question becomes: where does one draw the line of acknowledging influence/inspiration if not homage, particularly across the entire body of work featured in an exhibition?

The admittedly unsatisfying answer is: "it depends". To be more precise, it depends on the viewer and their perspective on such an interpretive approach being front and center, as well perhaps as their perspective on the artist(s) being referenced. But in the end is it in fact interpretation that Homma is doing?

I would suggest that the ambiguity surrounding this approach is at least part of what Homma is counting on: it's his mode of engagement with the viewer, the entrance to an understanding of what he's doing in these works.

Variously, Homma's images in this exhibition can be seen as a technically impressive and masterful presentation of one skilled practitioner of the photographic arts referencing another established practitioner of the photographic arts (using the time-consuming, technically demanding, persnickety and uncertain medium of the camera obscura cum pinhole camera), a take the money and run gambit (successful, so far), a curious coincidence (obviously not, but…), or simply compelling images in their own right.

Whether he is referencing Hokusai's historical ukiyo-e woodblocks (not a photographer, obviously, but in any case an image maker ), one of Ed Ruscha's tongue in cheek taxonomic series, some of Robert Frank's latter period works produced from his Nova Scotia redoubt, or Kikuji Kawada's iconic eclipse image, Homma is straightforward and never coy; the informed viewer is never left guessing. But a casual observer has no need to know the inspirational provenance of the images in this exhibition as they can be fully appreciated on their own, reference-free merits.
