About the Item
The Day the Dam Collapses is the new detailed yet quietly poetic series from the California-based Japanese photographer. Working for the first time with digital capture, Watanabe collected these intimate images detailing life’s ephemeral beauty over a five year period between 2008 and 2013 – spurred by the birth of his first son. These small scale color images do well to highlight the vitality, fragility, and paradox of life.

Hiroshi Watanabe
" I go to places that captivate and intrigue me. I am interested in what humans do. I seek to capture people, traditions, and locales that first and foremost are of personal interest. I immerse myself with information on the places prior to leaving, but I try to avoid firm, preconceived ideas. I strive for both calculation and discovery in my work, keeping my mind open for surprises. At times, I envision images I’d like to capture, but when I actually look through the viewfinder, my mind goes blank and I photograph whatever catches my eye. Photographs I return with are usually different from my original concepts. My photographs reflect both genuine interest in my subject as well as a respect for the element of serendipity, while other times I seek pure beauty. The pure enjoyment of this process drives and inspires me. I believe there’s a thread that connects all of my work -- my personal vision of the world as a whole. I make every effort to be a faithful visual recorder of the world around me, a world in flux that, at very least in my mind, deserves preservation." – Hiroshi Watanabe

Magnolia No. 10
By Jeri Eisenberg
Located in Tulsa, OK
Magnolia, No. 10, by artist Jeri Eisenberg is a soft pink, and green contemporary triptych made of Archival pigment ink on Japanese Kozo with encaustic medium, that measures 36 x 34 and is priced at $3,150.
Magnolia, No. 10 Edition: 4/12, 2010
*Price differs with top bars only $3000*
Jeri Eisenberg works primarily with non-traditional and alternative photo-based techniques. She represses or subverts traditional photography’s emphasis on the representational qualities of the medium, and emphasizes instead the medium’s expressive nature. She employs a strong sense of materiality and seductive surfaces in her work, to evoke sense memories and visceral connections. Her work steadfastly serves as an affirmation of beauty in the everyday natural world, but is tinged with the bittersweet - a reminder of the temporal condition, and an elegy for life.
