Patricia Galagan
One Tree, One Cloud

2014

About the Item

Patricia Galagan’s photography often concerns the aftermath of upheaval in the landscape. Her work has been shown at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, Oregon, the New Mexico Museum of Art, in Santa Fe, Fototeca de Cuba in Havana, and Fotografika Gallery near Geneva, Switzerland, among others. In the summer of 2011, in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, a falling power line sparked a wildfire that burned 158,753 acres of forest. From their home in Santa Fe, 30 air miles southeast, photographers Patricia Galagan and Philip Metcalf watched what came to be known as the Las Conchas fire burn day and night for more than a month. As soon as the roads reopened, they went to the mountains to see the damage this violent fire had wrought. Taking a trail to the rim of Cochiti Canyon, they passed through sections of forest that had burned so hot nothing remained but blackened trunks and negative spaces where huge tree roots had been. The canyon and the waves of ridges beyond were black with standing dead trees. The visual chaos of the burned forest, at first daunting, pushed them to look harder, see differently, and, as they did so, the forest began to look beautiful in its highly altered state. For more than seven years they were compelled to make photographs of the aftermath of the fire to draw people beyond the news-cycle images of smoke and flames into the reality of a forest after an extreme fire. FIRE GHOSTS is both their ode to the old forest, and their gift to help us understand that in this era of accelerating climate change and increasingly devastating wildfires all over the world, the new forests will never be the same, but we can still find beauty there.

Process Statement My work uses the Japanese and Chinese calligraphic characters that I have practiced since childhood. I take a line from one character, and when that brushstroke is made it tells me where the next one should be placed. This method of working is untraditional. I have found that the details and individual lines of a character are beautiful by themselves. I may use the individual brushstrokes that form a written word, Japanese letters...

"Rocks in the Water, Lakeside Park", signed archival pigment print
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Rock in the Water, Lakeside Park" is a black & white landscape photograph measuring 24x36" unframed. All of Rick's photographs are printed on Hahnemühle Fine Art Paper using archival pigment-based inks. There are other edition sizes available, namely 11.5x17" and 6.5x10". Photographs are rolled carefully and shipped in a tube. Framing is optional and quoted separately. Rocks in the Water, Lakeside Park is part of a series of studies of rocks in shallow waters. This time near the city of Oakville, west of Toronto. The use of 10-stop ND filter helps to create the smooth texture of the water. Rick uses this technique often, not only for the look that it produces but also because it forces the process of producing the image in the field to slow down. Rick Bogacz...
