|a “Novel Antiquities” represents the culmination of years of study; it is a visual articulation of an autobiographical quest, enriched by the appreciation of many artistic influences. The exhibition consists of 44 still life photographic images produced in a traditional chemical darkroom. Intuitively composed, the photographs embody the romantic notion of time-passage, incorporating a collection of treasured, symbolic objects. Produced traditionally and displayed alternatively, the works of “Novel Antiquities” were presented: in books, on stretched canvas, affixed to wooden platforms, and behind suspended, sectioned windows. The images, created to be intentionally enigmatic, remain philosophically untitled. The following thesis opens with my autobiography. The influence of ten visual artists is then discussed, including example works by these artists, pictured alongside early pieces of my own. Artists featured are: Edward Weston, Ruth Bernhard, Robert Mapplethorpe, Jan Groover, Rene Magritte, Robert Frank, Olivia Parker, Maggie Taylor, and Robert Parke Harrison. The Processes/Technical Information section outlines the image sizes, materials, and presentation methods; included is a gallery diagram and illustrative reproductions of each of the four series. The Aesthetics/Philosophy section details my beliefs regarding: digital vs. analog photography, still life as a fine art, personal and universal symbolism, the titling of artworks, and the influence of a northern upbringing. This section concludes with eight reproductions from the exhibition along with commentary on each. An Artist's Statement/Conclusion page summarizes the main points raised in the thesis and is followed by reproductions of all 44 images comprising “Novel Antiquities.” |
