Ken Ragsdale"Another Paradise" Photograph of Paper Constructed Landscape, 30"x40" framed
About the Item
30"x40" archival pigment print signed on reverse by the artist. This composition is created entirely of cut paper, and then is photographed by the artist. The white paper in his assembled landscapes is lit with colored lights to replicate natural colors, such as amber and blue in the sky. In this piece, the artist, Ken Ragsdale depicts a a rural scene with a pick up truck dangling precariously from the end of cliff. This photograph is from a series entitled "The Hundred- Acre Wood"
edition of 5
Ken Ragsdale’s process begins with rough sketches of places and things from his past that are relevant to current themes he is considering. This series focuses on a time period of 1974-78, in the regions of Northern Idaho, to Eastern Oregon and the areas between. As his working drawings solidify the dimensions of the objects which represent his memories from that era, Ragsdale considers the landscape, terrain and weather, filtered through his personal memories and experiences.
Once the composition and components are determined as to capture the aura of a memory, schematic drawings are documented and prepared for hand assembly. Laboriously the schematics are cut out, folded and tabbed to create their final 3-dimensional formats. As each object is placed and the structures oriented, Ragsdale modifies the scenes to perfectly frame each scenario for the final photograph. From simple sheets of white Bristol Vellum, the atmosphere and lighting brings each image to life and allows for a reminiscent view of a wistful past.
