About the Item

Shadow of Her Former Self Photograph of Found Objects Printed in Cyanotype Panel is 10 x 8 inches, 12 x 10 inches framed Wire backing, ready to hang Signed, verso (lower right) Sokosh has transitioned into working predominately in Cyanotype after his period with wet-plate prints. The subject matter is usually comprised of found objects which are valuable to Sokosh himself. This piece depicts a dancer raising her hands in what seems to be exalted victory. The shadow cast onto the wall is in prominent focus, showing a contrast between the two sides of this subject. Sokosh's found objects are always personal and seem highly evocative. This particular piece invokes a sense of a lithe beauty who's career years are behind her. Sokosh's cyanotype medium complements the work especially well, with the granular nature of the print giving a more vintage sensibility to the work itself. 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.

The Elucidation: Figurative Monochrome Duratran Print on LED Illuminated Panel
By Nick Simpson
Located in Hudson, NY
Duratran print on LED illuminated panel 17 x 15 x 2 inches overall Image size: 10 x 8 inches This antique style figurative photograph was created by London based photographer, Nick Simpson, in 2012. Here, a seated figure clad only in a peculiar headdress poses for the camera. The figure clutches a skull to their chest, and rope is wound loosely around their ankles. Mysterious masks and other props litter the background. Simpson includes a slight patina around the sepia toned photograph's edge to accentuate its antique inspired quality. The Duratran print is paired with a dark wood frame and is mounted on LED illuminated panel attached to a power cord. About the work: London based artist, Nick Simpson, is celebrated for his fictional series entitled The Bumforth Man Collection. The series consists of archival prints inspired by a mythical story concerning a quantity of glass photographic plates discovered in an old oak chest on the Bumforth Manor estate in rural England, the family home of the Gascoigne-Simpson's for over nine generations. These plates, which had laid gathering dust for over a hundred years, were supposedly the work of Simpson’s great grandfather, Samuel Heracles Gascoigne-Simpson, a disciple of William Henry Fox Talbot, commonly considered to be the father of photography. To bring this story to life, Simpson starts by building a set, authentically styled and dressed to re-create the Victorian photographic salons of the late 1900s. This becomes the stage upon which he places his eclectic choice of models and actors, all following his original tight narrative to create a richly detailed tableau. The scene is then captured in a single sitting using an original 1867 'Petzval' lens mounted on a mahogany plate camera...
