About the Item

This listing is for an unframed print. Born in Buffalo, NY, Atlanta-based photographer Shannon Davis has lived in the South longer than anywhere else. She’s asked locals, “How long do I need to live in the South till I’ll be considered a Southerner?” Their answer has been the same, “NEVER.” Controlled Burn is a conceptual photography series that explores the smoldering act of assimilation and the pursuit of finding home. To illustrate narrative experiences she combines familiar objects into uncommon assemblages. The wit and juxtaposition of the art-directed still lifes convey the mood of navigating a new place while offering a reframing of the region from an "outsider" perspective, inviting the viewer to question what is being represented and how it resonates with their idea of the South. With decades of design and motion-directing experience, Shannon Davis chose photography as her medium for making art. She holds a BFA in Design from Rochester Institute of Technology and shares her creative passions as a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design.

Katherine Jackson, Little Oil 19, 2020, Photograph on aluminum
By Katherine Jackson
Located in Darien, CT
There are two Little Oil installations available with 6 sculptures each on top of LED light boxes. Little Oil 19 is a digital photographic print on aluminum for the flat files. Katherine Jackson has been working with glass and light together for many years, Recently, she's been making glass castings of vintage oil cans, and displaying them -- singly, in small groupings, or in vitrines -- on light boxes. So far she has created about 90, each one unique. The series is called Little Oil, alluding to Big Oil, and sometimes Small Oils, as in oil painting. But “oil” can mean many things. It has been a source of light (sometimes from unconscionable sources) since ancient times as well as a source of eternal light in many faith traditions. Set atop lightboxes, where each work glows from within, these pieces can simply seem like vessels of light itself. At times, they appear to me to transcend their relation to oil altogether, appearing anthropomorphic or creaturely, even biological. These days, I think of them as archeological artifacts, relics of a past, oil-based, civilization. Necropolis is a print of a painting inspired by a map of the necropolis where the terra cotta soldiers...
