Cecilia Montalvo & Charlie McCullers
'Barrier Island, Study No. 7, Cayo Costa, Florida' - southern photography

2018

About the Item

This unique object features a wet plate collodion print framed in a handmade wooden frame lined with gold leaf. Frame measures 12 by 9 inches. Cecilia Montalvo & Charlie McCullers are a collaborative team. Characterized by the dynamic nature of the land-sea interaction, barrier islands are places with many shape narratives, and inversions. A barrier island is ephemeral, an instance of simultaneity, above and below what we call the surface. Mangroves straddle these mirror worlds, walking on water, making something out of nothing. Light rushes through every keyhole and seam in palm forest canopies, which is another sort of inundation. The islands are always being eroded and redeposited, their permanence rooted in impermanence, existing where many forces converge. Everything residual from the land and the sea is ultimately represented there. And in that history, that recording, that perpetual washing over of it all, beautiful things and ugly things, there is a prelapsarian magic, which is always starting over, clean. This work is metaphorical. It’s about demarcation and intermediation. It’s about origins, and going back. It’s about paradoxes of individual experience within the enormous, scary, and magical system. Born and raised in Miami, Cecilia Montalvo lives in Atlanta. After graduating from the University of Virginia, she worked at Smithsonian Magazine and for Harvard University at Dumbarton Oaks, in Washington, D.C. She holds an MFA in photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Charlie McCullers is a working photographer from Atlanta. He graduated from the University of Georgia with a BFA, and the Savannah College of Art and Design with an MFA in photography.
