About the Item

AS FAR AS A VISTA, is part of a series of works that consider the decorative and escapist role of the landscape in the home. When seeking beauty in the world to distract us, delight us, and bring us into our own world, we seek something that stirs within us a memory or a dream. Traditionally, tapestries are a storytelling media as well as décor. This particular work is constructed from commercially printed tapestries acquired from a Chinese supplier during the pandemic. These tell a story of arrested, yet ample, desire. AS FAR AS A VISTA depicts two landscapes combined into one artwork. In the back image, we see a photo depicting a setting or a rising sun behind mountains. A texture of clouds appears in the sky, but not so enough to block out the sun. Over this tapestry, Fahenstock has elegantly folded an upside-down scene of a beach with waves on the shore. Again utilizing the sun as focal point which either appears to be setting or rising.

AS FAR AS A VIEW - Folded Tapestry Collage of Scenic Landscapes w/ Palm Trees
Located in Signal Mountain, TN
AS FAR AS A VIEW, is part of a series of works that consider the decorative and escapist role of the landscape in the home. When seeking beauty in the world to distract us, delight us, and bring us into our own world, we seek something that stirs within us a memory or a dream. Traditionally, tapestries are a storytelling media as well as décor. This particular work is constructed from commercially printed tapestries acquired from a Chinese supplier during the pandemic. These tell a story of arrested, yet ample, desire. On one side of the piece we see a sunrise from a beach with palm trees. Gently folded over to the right is a second tapestry. In this the artist has chose to expose the desaturated backside which obscures slightly the third tapestry landscape of beach scene around midday. It brings to mind the passage of time much like time lapse photography...

Persephone VI - large format photograph of a timeless environmental still
By Erik Pawassar
Located in San Francisco, CA
large scale original photograph from Erik Pawassar's body of works 'Persephone', a series of environmental still-life photographs of timeless palimpsest impressions 62 x 48 inches (157 x 122cm) signed edition of 7 40 x 31 inches (102 x 79cm) signed edition of 25 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...
