About the Item

Rose in Blue Glass Vase Photograph of Found Objects Printed in Cyanotype 10" x 8" image on 14" x 11" paper, edition of 5 19 x 15 inches matted and framed Wire backing, ready to hang Signed on front Available in additional sizes Other available sizes: 20" x 16" image on 24" x 18" paper, edition of 5 40" x 32", edition of 5 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.

Blue Roses
By Mark & Kristen Sink
Located in Hudson, NY
Listing is for UNFRAMED print. Inquire within for framing. Edition of 1. If the exhibition piece is sold or the customer orders a different print size, the photograph is produced upon purchase. Please allow two weeks for production. Shipping time depends on method of shipping. Price is subject to availability. The Robin Rice Gallery reserves the right to adjust this price depending on the current edition of the photograph. ABOUT: For the last two years Mark and Kristen have collaborated using one of the earliest photographic methods, collodion wet plate to create ambrotypes on glass and tintypes on aluminum. They use a 1860 style view camera to create one-of-a-kind images, which become windows into an intimate, romantic, and beautiful world of faces, still lives, nudes, and landscapes. In this demanding process, the collodion coated tin or glass plates are immersed in a silver nitrate solution, and then they must be exposed in the camera and developed while still wet. Serendipitous flaws and beautiful imperfections are an inevitable part of this imprecise hands-on process. This show includes a combination of 24 tintypes and ambrotypes, which are 8x10 and smaller in size. Their intimate sizes ask the viewers to look closer and spend more time with these photographs to fully appreciate their power. — A welcome antidote to today's nonstop, ¬instantaneous imagery. Paradoxically, this intersection of past and present gives these pieces an unmistakably contemporary feel. The two collaborators deliberately play up the ambiguity of time. The nudes (some recalling E.J. Bellocq's alluring portraits of New Orleans prostitutes in 1912) are suffused with freshness and sensuality, even eroticism at times, with nearly all of them coming off as refined rather than crass.
