About the Item

Bus (Ghost Town) - 2021 Sketches of a downtown disappearing. 20x20cm, Edition of 7, plus 2 Artist proofs. Digital silver gelatin print based on a Polaroid. Signed on back with Certificate. Not mounted. Erin Dougherty was born in San Francisco, raised in Palm Springs. She lived in almost every part of California and Arizona then moved to Florence, Italy for some time before returning to her home State. She received a B.A. in Art from Humboldt State University. Erin is a photographer, collagist and general bon vivant. She has been working with Polaroids for the past 10 years. Artist Statement I look for the unexpected. I search for the unusual. I seek to share my view of the world. I am drawn to Polaroid because of the mysterious, ethereal quality of the finished image. There is a softening of the harsh reality of the world. All my work reflects my mood, my emotions and my general attitude during the time the work is being created. I use art to express the emotions that I am unable to say out loud. That’s not to say that my work is morose, depending on the project or the theme I do try to add a touch of whimsy. At this point in my life I can’t imagine a day where I'm not actively planning or working on my next project.

Old Bus, US Route 1, SC
By Gordon Stettinius
Located in Hudson, NY
Listing is for UNFRAMED print. Inquire within for framing. Edition of 25. If the exhibition piece is sold or the customer orders a different print size, the photograph is produced upon purchase. Please allow two weeks for production. Shipping time depends on method of shipping. Price is subject to availability. The Robin Rice Gallery reserves the right to adjust this price depending on the current edition of the photograph. ABOUT: In Gordon’s third exhibition, his remarkable capacity for discovery and self-described “pathological curiosity” makes for an entirely unpredictable series of photographs, while the small size of the gelatin silver prints emphasizes their detailed nature and enhances the mysterious quality generated by his choice in cameras (namely, the increasingly popular Holga film camera). Stettinius’ wry sense of humor, references to popular culture, and use of kitschy subject matter permeate the entire black and white exhibition. The invitational image, “Yoda’s Garden”, is a perfect emblem of the exhibition’s mischievously comedic representation of Americana. In this image, a scarecrow proudly stands at the center of a growing cornfield, a gingham dress wrapping its body and a mask of the popular Star Wars character “Yoda” serving as its head. Although the references to both Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz may appear staged, Stettinius’ photography is anything but. Stettinius frequently finds inspiration in road trips, generating an aesthetic with the satirical playfulness of David Graham or Ralph Meatyard. This spontaneous, anthropological approach to photography can be seen in several of the pieces in Stettinius’ collection. This is perhaps most notably found in “Fast Money...
