Pamela Ellis Hawkes
Three Shelves

2013

About the Item

Pamela Ellis Hawkes's innovative photography revitalizes antique traditions of still life painting with a playful contemporary spirit and a keen eye for seductively mysterious beauty. Her work often exposes viewers' differing expectations from photography and painting, and this surprising parallax illuminates of the changing meanings of artistic images in the visual cultures of the past and the rapidly changing present. “Three Shelves” is a modern cyanotype on Arches watercolor paper. A deep, vivid blue. Six 14 x 20 in. papers are hinged together and to a white matboard backing. Signed and dated verso of the paper at lower left (when facing front). Framed: 47 x 45 in. White painted wood square-profile frame, UV acrylic, new in 2014, may have slight wear consistent with professional gallery exhibition and storage
