About the Item

Capitol Reef Mesa No. 1, photograph, 7 x 7 inches - $650 Photograph of a model of Capitol Reef mesa, 3D printed using National Geographic Survey Data by artist. AT HOME IN THE WEST - Edward Bateman "For those of us who live in the West, mountains are more than just landmarks; they define a sense of home. We have memories associated with our mountains; those we grew up surrounded by; remembering the first time we saw one, and the people we visited them with. This gave us all a larger sense of where we locate home. During our recent pandemic, home shrunk to the walls that surrounded us. Real experiences became mediated through computers and the internet – but something felt lost: a living connection with things bigger than ourselves. But we kept our memories – waiting to be trigged by a photograph or reminder of the mountains that could bring back that sense of the sublime. Mountains and nature have long been places of peace and refuge. There are few emotions about places for which adequate single words exist. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the word sublime arose to describe the feelings that the natural world can evoke in us. At home, on my kitchen table, I have been trying to capture something of that sublime in bits of plastic. Using geographical data from the Internet, I used my 3D printer to make the memories of those mountains tangible. With a small fog machine, I create atmospheres and clouds. Sunlight through a window illuminates some, while others were lit with a variety of sources including fiber optic lights used for microscopy. For me, these images evoke the place I call home; and remind me that it is memories that make a place special. -Edward Bateman June, 2021 Work for At Home in the West was created especially for Philips Gallery. Its companion series, Yosemite: Seeking Sublime, premiered November (2020) with a solo exhibition and in December (2020) work from that series was exhibited by invitation in the Art of Staying at Home; Artists in the Time of Corona at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt. He was the only U.S. artist from eight countries included. Additional works from that series will soon be exhibited at the Krakow Triennial in Poland and at the Earth Photo exhibition at the Royal Geographical Society in London. -- Edward Bateman is an associate professor at the University of Utah where he heads the Photography & Digital Imaging area. His innovative use of 3D computer modeling combined with photography has been written about widely, including a profile in Printmaking Today, the authorized journal of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers in the UK, as well as a half dozen photography textbooks. He contributed both text and images to Seizing the Light: A Social and Aesthetic History of Photography by Robert Hirsch. His work has been exhibited internationally in over 25 countries and is in the collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and The China Printmaking Museum, among others. He has twice been short-listed for the Lumen Prize, described by The Guardian Culture Blog as “The world’s preeminent digital art prize.” He has received the Salt Lake City Mayor’s Award for his contribution to the arts (2008) and in January of 2019, he was recognized by 15 Bytes as one of Utah’s 15 most influential artists.

Wendover.2
By Joseph Ostraff
Located in Salt Lake City, UT
"Wendover 2" by Joseph Ostraff, oil on panel, 36 X 31 inches, $4,800. "For me, paint documents the state of things, how I feel and what is at the forefront in my thinking—maybe it’s like the soup of the day. I do not consider this process to be anything special in itself. The paintings record the daily random and absurd associations I make, which seem interesting to me after the fact. The Domestic paintings are a case in point. My wife and I have six children. Four have left home. Three are married. We are left with two children, both currently in middle school. We have about five years and they too will move out. This is on my mind. I am thinking about the layers of memories and it comes out as layers of paint. Feeling nostalgic, I think about all the noise and activity our home has absorbed. In turn, I found children’s large vinyl decals from Angry Birds...

Red Sky
By Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber
Located in New York, NY
Archival pigment print Signed and numbered, verso 20 x 24 inches 30 x 40 inches 40 x 53 inches (Total edition of 15) This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Please note that prices increase as editions sell. In 1999, Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber transplanted themselves to New York City, bringing an urban feel to their photos. In the series, "Some Other Place" (2000-2002), neighborhood sidewalks, city parks, and forays into the wilderness were reconstructed, but with a darker sensibility than their earlier series. Nix and Gerber’s subdued color palette and increasingly complex compositions also reflect this change. Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber have been making art collaboratively for over sixteen years. Originally from the American Midwest, now based in Brooklyn, they construct meticulously detailed model environments and photograph the results. For the last decade they have found inspiration in their urban surroundings, imagining a future mysteriously devoid of mankind. Their miniature fake landscapes and interiors reflect a love of science fiction and dystopian entertainment (think “Blade Runner,” “Planet of the Apes,” “Logan’s Run...
