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.

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.

In Between the Shadows 3
Giclee Print on Hahnemuhle Pearl Fine Art Paper
Print Size: 37x 30cm , Framed: 44 x 37 cm
Edition of 7 + 2 AP, Currently available of the edition: 5-7
The series ‘In Between the Shadows’ consists of structural and geometric photographs that take their inspiration from the cubist movement.
The works aim to challenge the conventional perception of depth within the medium of photography by showing different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space. The chiaroscuro lighting embraces shadows and light as juxta- positional tools to deconstruct familiar objects and transform them into surreal compositions.
