Contemporary still life cyanotype photograph of delicate rose poised in a blue glass vase.
David Sokosh is a storyteller with a unique ability to internalize, synthesize, and recollect. If one of his tenderly photographed stills lifes was a tiny window into the workings of his mind, then on the other side you would discover a trove of collected treasures. Vintage teacups with cheeky quips and phrases fill shelves of props in the studio alongside antique busts, a skull, silver teapots, an old baseball signed by Babe Ruth; a mannequin donning a vintage, sailor uniform leans casually in the corner. His sustained preoccupation with material culture feeds his interest in photography and historical processes, making his knack for collecting the subject of his art. Sokosh has always embraced analog photographic methods, accepting heavy equipment and long exposure times as necessary mechanisms to antiquated production. In recent work, he creates prints from negatives using the 19th Century process of cyanotype. Relishing the physical qualities of hand-crafted prints, he uses chemistry and scale to manufacture variations on themes in signature, blue tones. Sokosh’s work is in numerous public collections including the Polaroid Corporation.
Artist Statement:
In this era of viewing digitally created images on screens, I am part of the renaissance in hand-crafted photography. Using the Nineteenth Century techniques of black and white film shot in large format view cameras and cyanotype printing, I create photographic pieces on paper in limited editions. I am drawn to the hand-crafted nature of these photographs.
I live in a self-created pre-modern world full of period objects of all kinds. These authentic process lets me explore the mindset of the early photographer/scientist/collector. I’m drawn to the quality of photograph-as-object that cyanotype yields and I see the limits of these technologies as a challenge rather than a hindrance.

David Sokosh
David Sokosh, has long held a fascination with vintage technologies and aesthetics. In addition to his other interests, it’s no surprise that Sokosh favors the 19th century photographic process of Wet Plate Collodion in his own image making. Sokosh uses an authentic Victorian lens fitted to a handmade camera to photograph staged scenes in a daylight studio in Claverack, NY. His tintypes are a far cry from geeky to sophisticated still-lifes are mixed with contemporary subject matter. But no matter the contents, each photograph is veiled with the illusion of time past. All plates are unique, however, he occasionally will photograph the same subject several times to mimic multiples.

By Lisa A. Frank
Located in Hudson, NY
Archival digital print, edition of 50
34 x 29.5 inches unframed
Lisa Frank’s new body of work produces complex arrangements of flowers and dark vegetation reminiscent of Baroque still lifes and tapestry. Frank stages, duplicates and then layers photographic elements to create work that keeps the viewer fixated in her realm of digitally manipulated imagination. In this piece, the artist has digitally collaged twisted vines, dried leaves, pink, yellow, and purple flowers, and turtle shells in intricate patterns to resemble a Baroque tapestry. The contemporary vertical digital print is available in additional sizes.
