Landscape photography by fine art and documentary photographer Holly Gordon. Holly Gordon is one of the many treasures that Long Island has to offer, continuing more than a century’s old tradition of celebrating the natural beauty of the Island, that has attracted many artists especially the famous artist Arthur Dove and his wife Helen Torr. Gordon is a pioneer of “photo-liminalism”, a new visual language that humanizes technology and allows one to paint with the camera. Her works transcend photography into a more complex medium by positioning, overlapping, diffusing images into powerful and exciting compositions and subjective narratives. Holly Gordon is a working photographer coming from a fine arts background, and holds a Master's Degree from New York University. She exhibited widely, including the American Museum of Natural History in NYC, The Heckscher Museum of Art, and Denise Bibro...

Text by Amber Berson Canadian photographer Holly King’s Mangrove series is an investigation into the artist’s own subconscious. The photographs border on the uncanny, although never uncomfortably so. Instead, her preternatural compositions engage the viewer’s curiosity – the viewer is not sure how to approach, and yet is drawn to do so. At times the images are reflective, occasionally disquieting and always thought provoking. The twisted roots of the mangrove forests that form the base of this series provide an entry point for an investigation into the shadowy parts of the artist’s imagination. The differences between what we know to be real and what we perceive as real are often slight. The work of Holly King stems from an attempt to prevail over the uncharted territory of both her imagination and that which is perceived as true. In her creations, King endeavours to understand her subconscious mindscape as manifested through photographs recalling actual landscapes. This new series, stemming from earlier pieces also focused on roots, reflects King’s interest in drawing, in the linear subject and in geometric abstraction. It is a move away from previous series – despite the photographic medium in which King works, her oeuvre has contained a certain painterly quality. These new photographs tend to melt into themselves, drawing the viewer in and letting the imagination drift. The Mangrove series causes the viewer to approach with at a slower pace, to investigate deeply into the darker nooks and crannies and to attempt to find reason within a work that so clearly plays with our understanding of real and imaginary. Nothing is incidental in King’s photographs...
