About the Item

Western Landscape 4, limited edition photograph, signed and numbered In my art practice, I create imaginary landscapes and atmospheres through a mixed-media process based in photography. I work in various photographic processes to create the illusion of a layered and dimensional landscape using opaque stencils and cut paper to make multiple exposures on light sensitive paper. I have translated this process into different forms of photographic printmaking, from traditional black and white darkroom prints, to analog color printing, wet plate collodion, lumen and cyanotype. I get the most excited when learning and working towards a new way of making; teaching myself and researching how I might use my core materials with a new-to-me photographic process. I’ve lived up and down the West Coast and am greatly influenced by the landscapes of the American West. Two years ago, my partner and I decided to make Oregon our home and I left the Bay Area after almost 20 years. Spending time in nature and paying attention to the seasons in Oregon is changing the way I make work and creating new pathways and ideas. Made using the cyanotype process, this series is the first to be made in my Oregon studio. While aspects of the California Landscape remain, other elements are starting to take over, things like blackberry bushes, ferns, and evergreen trees. The images depict the infrastructure and amusements of modern culture set against otherwise remote locations. The darkness of the sky and the prevalence of stars allude to ancient skies before light pollution changed our everyday experience of the universe. The images act as a meditation on our connection to the story of humanity, as well as our place in the vast geologic history of the earth and the cosmos. -Vanessa Marsh

"Water Well" color photograph, autumn farm landscape painting on abstract wall
By Phillip Buehler
Located in New York, NY
18"x24", signed, editioned color photograph. A lush Fall farm landscape with greens fields, orange trees and red barn painting is contrasted by the placement on a highly distressed wall. Multiple layers of paint in various colors from teal blue, pink, beige, and orange are peeled and cracked creating an abstract pattern of color behind the landscape painting in this photograph. Time and age have created an image of beautiful decay with the cracked and peeling paint, which creates an amazing visual backdrop to the painting. The pairing of the two in this photograph compliment each other on a sensory level and bring out thoughts of nostalgia and longing. Phillip Buehler is a New York based photographer who documents the deterioration and remnants of neglected architecture constructed in the recent past. He is arguably the first to coin the neologism “modern ruins”. His photographs published in “Woody Guthrie’s Wardy Forty,” have won numerous awards, documenting the singer/songwriter/activist’s life at Greystone Park Psychiatric. He received his BA at Rutgers University and his MFA in photography at School of Visual Arts. Phillip Buehler has been featured in Art in America, The New York Times, Art News, The Art...
