Knit One, Pearl One 6 (Contemporary British Photography, Forests, Wildlife)

2011

About the Item

Please bear in mind that all prints are produced to order and lead times are expected between 15-20 days. Edition 1/7 + 2 Artist Proofs. Knit One, Pearl One 6 is a stunning C-Type Print on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper. Ellie has been working in the forests of the UK for the past seven years, producing work which explores the complex interrelationship between the landscape and the individual. What is "landscape"? We use the concept of landscape to achieve a sense of identity so that it becomes much more than just what we see; it becomes a way of seeing. In Knit One Pearl One, Davies uses her own relationship to the landscape as her starting point. Becoming actively involved with the forest space, weaving a presence into its many leaves and textures, she builds a personal experience for herself and creates an authentic interaction with the space. The woollen thread marks a slow, deliberate, delicate trajectory: branches and twigs are woven together and linked to form a continuous, sinuous line of movement. The trace of a lone figure passing through the space, like an ephemeral self-portrait. Weaving, sewing, threading, and connecting the woollen thread ties the artist tangibly and metaphorically to the forest. The visible process of making in these images adds a further layer of reflection to the forest space by allowing the viewer to see the constructed nature of the landscape. Can we ever gain access to the natural world on its own terms?

  • Palace Square, St Petersburg, Russia (59” x 73.5”)
    By David Burdeny
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    All available sizes & editions for each size of this photograph: 21” x 26" Edition of 7 32” x 40" Edition of 7 44” x 55” Edition of 10 59” x 73.5” Edition of 5 Burdeny’s Russia images, particularly in his photographs of the Moscow Metro, in which the artist documents the palatial grandeur of the city’s 85-year-old underground rail system. Burdeny was among the first photographers to be granted after-hours access to the subway stations, and his images Soviet-era stations, whose ornate designs and realist artwork were meant to reflect the socialist ideals of Stalinist Russia—“palaces of the people.” During the Cold War, some stations doubled as bomb shelters. Today, the metro system transports upwards of two and a half million riders per day across more than 200 stations, making Burdeny’s unobstructed views of the vaulted and brightly lit tunnels an especially rare glimpse, one that highlights the space itself rather than its more quotidian function.Next to his equally rare shots of actual Russian palaces, among them St. Petersburg’s Yusopof Palaceand Hermitage Museum, these metro views form a picture of Russian architectural...
