About the Item

Split toned and hand-tinted gelatin silver print, printed by artist, with 8-ply over-mat and mounted to archival, 8-ply museum board Signed and numbered, recto 26 x 32 inches, overall mat size 22 x 28 inches, paper size (Edition of 20) This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Please note that prices increase as editions sell. In 2008, Michael Massaia started to document the amusement piers that skirt the New Jersey coastline during their most vacant moments (usually between the hours of 4:00 and 6:00 a.m.). These images were predominantly shot on the Funtown and Casino Piers in Seaside Park and Seaside Heights, New Jersey. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy completely destroyed both piers, forever altering the landscape. These images chronicle the final days of these piers, as well as what remains of the piers and their surroundings in the years following their devastation. Michael Massaia is a fine art photographer and printmaker who has spent the past ten years documenting areas and objects that never extend too far from his front door. Isolation, disconnection, and an attempt to put a spotlight on the ordinary are the constants in all of his work. He focuses primarily on large format black-and-white film, utilizing a variety of highly modified proprietary analog and digital printing techniques. Massaia works alone and is the sole craftsman from the instant the negative is exposed to the moment the final print is made.

Burnt Place 03 - After the fire swept through, the forest was left scorched and barren. The ground is still warm and the unstirring air is thick with the scent of charred wood. Scorched, lifeless pines stand solemn and mournful in the shadows of the Burnt Place.
