Landscape photography by fine art and documentary photographer Holly Gordon. Holly Gordon is one of the many treasures that Long Island has to offer, continuing more than a century’s old tradition of celebrating the natural beauty of the Island, that has attracted many artists especially the famous artist Arthur Dove and his wife Helen Torr. Gordon is a pioneer of “photo-liminalism”, a new visual language that humanizes technology and allows one to paint with the camera. Her works transcend photography into a more complex medium by positioning, overlapping, diffusing images into powerful and exciting compositions and subjective narratives. Holly Gordon is a working photographer coming from a fine arts background, and holds a Master's Degree from New York University. She exhibited widely, including the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, The Heckscher Museum of Art, and Denise Bibro...

A stand of spinous silver birch gather, shining white against the inky night... Over a three-year period, Goodall has visited areas of British forest and moorland to make images that he refers to as being 'more akin to fairytale than documentary'. There is indeed an unreal quality to the images, and this is perhaps a result of using artificial lighting; it reminds one of those spooky, unnaturally lit forests we see in the movies. In the absence of any natural illumination (save for a few that include the moon), scenes are lit as if they are in a studio setting. This results in imagery that feels eerily unfamiliar; transporting the viewer from the recognisable landscape into a kind of liminal netherworld - it's the landscape, but not as we are used to seeing it. Goodall responds to this observation by speaking about the possibility of the darkness being seen as a metaphor for the unconscious mind; the 'light' of consciousness illuminates the known forms of tree and rock, but beyond these certainties lies the unknown. When your eyes have little information, your imagination takes over and fills in the gaps." - Jasper Goodall...
