About the Item

Shani Mootoo’s nostalgic images of her childhood home in Trinidad reveal an intimate and compelling story. Her ‘History Revisited’ series—photographs of interior rooms, furniture and trinkets are portraits of a life. This wood wall cabinet contains carefully placed objects—photos, ceramic pieces, vases—a bouquet of fresh flowers. Mootoo does not curate the objects before she takes a picture. They are real. “It is there in that house that I see my roots and I wanted to record the marks on it before time takes it away forever.” Shani Mootoo This print is matted, framed (21 x 27 inches). Print size is 12 x 18 inches. It is also available in two larger sizes, 16 x 24 (framed 25 x 33 inches, edition of 8, $2,600); and 21 x 31.5 inches (30.5 x 40 inches framed, edition of 5, $3,400). An accomplished writer, filmmaker, painter and photographer Shani Mootoo earned a BFA from the University of Western Ontario, and an MA in English from the University of Guelph.

large scale original photograph from the body of works 'Persephone', a series of environmental still-life photographs of timeless palimpsest impressions Persephone VI (2006) by Erik Pawassar 24 x 19 inches (61 x 48cm) signed edition of 25 40 x 31 inches (102 x 79cm) signed edition of 25 62 x 48 inches (157 x 122cm) signed edition of 7 archival fine art pigment print signed & numbered by artist on label custom/larger sizes are available on request _____________________________ Erik Pawassar's work focuses on the beauty of the disregarded or mundane object. The subjects for his striking and captivating visuals are typically set in the most ordinary environments, drawing the viewer into a charged but serene experience based on composition, palette and formal lines. Saturated in color, the nominal subjects gather a haunting and mesmerizing quality, creating a poignant pretext for the making of a formal color photograph. Decisively capturing the traces left by humanity, Pawassar's images are filled with a sense of universal nostalgia and pay homage to the passage of time and the extinguished moment, referencing documentary and street photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sebastian Salgado, Raghubir Singh...
