"Bus Ride"

About the Item

20"x24" paper size, with print image size: 16"x20" signed by the artist- edition 1 of 5 From the series: "The Hundred Acre Wood" This photographic print depicts a woodland scene created completely out of paper, the artist lights the white paper to create yellows, greens and reds with a realistic sense of luminosity to the landscapes he is depicting. This piece narrates a scenario in which a bus is driving through a pine forest, the greens, amber yellows and reds create a feeling of sunset or sunrise in this magical work. Ragsdale’s process begins with rough sketches of places and things from his past that are relevant to current themes he is considering. This series focuses on a time period of 1974-78, in the regions of Northern Idaho, to Eastern Oregon and the areas between. As his working drawings solidify the dimensions of the objects which represent his memories from that era, Ragsdale considers the landscape, terrain and weather, filtered through his personal memories and experiences. Once the composition and components are determined as to capture the aura of a memory, schematic drawings are documented and prepared for hand assembly. Laboriously the schematics are cut out, folded and tabbed to create their final 3-dimensional formats. As each object is placed and the structures oriented, Ragsdale modifies the scenes to perfectly frame each scenario for the final photograph. From simple sheets of white Bristol Vellum, the atmosphere and lighting brings each image to life and allows for a reminiscent view of a wistful past.
