CHRIS MCCAW
September 7 – October 27, 2012
Chris McCaw, Sunburned GSP #549 ( Mojave/ expanding), 2012. Unique Gelatin Silver Paper Negative, 20 x 24 inches
Running until October 27th, the exhibition of 23 unique paper negatives offers Richmond a chance to experience this intimate, yet iconic work. McCaw, with his massive handmade cameras that can weigh up to 125 pounds and require specially-made carts, and the almighty sun co-create images that push photography into the realm of sculpture. The creation/destruction cycle so inherent to life on this planet is harnessed by the hand of the artist into unpredictable, highly-crafted and sublime images.
Among notable private and public collections, McCaw’s work is found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
