Winter of Volcanoes: Guatemala

SOLD One of a kind
16x20 pigment print photograph (on 17x22 paper)

ARTIST STATEMENT: The first time I met Richard Blanco, our conversation wandered into
a landscape familiar to us both: the volcanoes of Guatemala. I sent him a photograph I
had made of one of the sleeping volcanoes that encircle Lake Atitlan, and he responded
with this poem that so eloquently describes the living, volcanic presence that pervades
the Guatemalan terrain. Linnea Brotz and Emma Swartz designed and set the type in
the MMW+C Book Arts studio, and combined the poem and photograph for this unique
offering.

if theres a camper in my yard, its gonna look pretty

$400 Edition of 5
15x15 archival pigment print, framed

ARTIST STATEMENT: Growing up in the south creates a different type of woman. We are
taught to be gentile ladies, the backbone of our families, strong and independent woman,
and teachers as well as students of life. We take the time to sit on the porch, play on
swings, and embrace our inner child, and that no matter what youre never too old for a
haircut from mom. And most important when life gives you lemons, add some sugar and a
little bit of daddys shine and white knuckle it.

This body of work is a work in progress -- my love letter to the South.

Carol Fonde + Andrea Mabee

Before the Wind

$1000 Edition of 10
21x26.75 archival pigment print, framed

ARTIST STATEMENT: I first met Andrea Mabee about a year ago through a student of mine
who graduated from Parsons several years ago and is now living in New Mexico. He sent me
payment for a camera lens that Andrea had listed on Craigs list in Portland and asked if I
could meet with her in person, take a look at the lens and take charge of sending it to him.
After meeting in my studio she asked if I would give her private lessons in Photoshop. I was
immediately impressed with her photography, especially with her work portraiting a flock of
geese she had followed, photographed, and visually bonded with for several years. I found her
work to be obsessive, relentless and a heartfelt tribute to these birds. I share Andreas passion
for birds, who have long been a focus of my own work. I spent my childhood in the company
of many & various, species of birds. My father was a wildlife conservationist and thought
nothing of letting wild turkeys walk freely through the formal dining room that was always off
limits to us children. A peregrine falcon, Miss Jangles, was forever perched on an Easter basket
on top of the refrigerator in our kitchen. Because next-door neighbors were scarce I felt
somewhat isolated as a child and often dreamt of taking flight from what my brother called
the castle, and some called the bird house.

Untitled, #9 from Kaao

$500 Edition of 15
6x9 digital pigment print, framed 11x14

ARTIST STATEMENT: I am drawn to places where the appearance of the land in the
present, holds the potential to reference imagined histories that evoke mythological
narratives. I look for evidence of the secrets that only the land knows, to tell stories of
magic, seduction, XX and what is sacred.
Brenton Hamilton + Celeste Pelletier

Mystify the Senses

$40 Limited edition
Ziatype prints

ARTIST STATEMENT: The collaborative piece between Brenton Hamilton and I was really
inspired by Brentons work. Especially the poster of the feminine figure, heart, and stars.
Taking these different key aspects, I wanted to keep the takeaways, fun and elegant, to
match the feel of the evening. -- Celeste Pelletier

Liquid Center
$4,500 Edition of 7
40x60 photograph on aluminum

ARTIST STATEMENT: Travel is glamorous only in retrospect. -- Paul Theroux

Taking the long way home, a seemingly lost past time in an ever shrinking world. Stopping,
pausing, appreciating the beauty flying by the window.
Replaced by the ease of air travel, the famous veins connecting Point A to B have quieted. The
routes and intersections reserved for freight transportation and those few with time and an
adventurous spirit.

Often those considered well-traveled have explored very little of their own country. A bounty
of cultural landscapes await, when tracing the highways and byways.

With the liberty of time, my adventurous spirit has transported me to placed many choose
to bypass. Stumbling on vantages unexplored, this work beckoned, pulling the car to a stop,
capturing the moment that might have been lost.
Jeannie Hutchins

Incognita #4B
$490 Edition 2 of 2
Silk & digital print installation

ARTIST STATEMENT: I am interested in making photographs that question not only visual
reality but existential reality as well. The photographic process is what allows me to
explore space, time, mortality, and immortality without being constrained by my cultures
expectations.. I use the camera to try to find answers to Lifes Unanswerable Questions.

I still have no answers, so I keep on photographing.

Lynn Karlin

Squash Blossoms, from The Tray Series

$800 Open edition
15x15 archival pigment print, matted and framed to 18.5x18.5

ARTIST STATEMENT: My fine art photographs of vegetables, flowers and edible plants are
a natural progression after working as an editorial garden and food photographer for 30
years. They are about the obvious but often overlook the magic and beauty of the harvest.
This body of work called The Tray Series challenges me to create within a confined
space, looking down at arrangements in a tray. Inspiration comes from private gardens,
restaurants and local farmers markets.
Alec Kaus

Eye
$150 Edition 2 of 10
8.5x11 pigment print, unmatted

ARTIST STATEMENT: Home is a relative term. Home is the elusive destination that calls me to
continue searching. Home is the underlying insecurity that drives me to create photographs.
Home is the common thread that stitches together what once felt like disparate fragments of
film frames into a larger, circular narrative with no definitive beginning, and no real end.

Lost in Translation is a constant, never-ending search for answers just out of reach. Its about
transience; being trapped in liminal space with no sense of direction, no sense of self, and no
sense of home. Creating these images became my way of escaping reality, and later crafting
my own reality - a dark, rich utopia of my own design - to call home.
Jack Kennedy

Alicia Mae Fernandez

$500 One of a kind
16x20 palladium print of Alicia Mae Fernandez in Cuba

ARTIST STATEMENT: Having a camera in my hand is a great excuse to meet people and
enter their lives, if only briefly. Making an image permits me to remember what has been,
and fantasize just a bit about what might be. Photography has saved my life and I hope it
will permit me to live fully for the next 32 years.

Echoes 1
$550 One of a Kind
Handmade book - photographs paired with ink drawings 4.5x7

ARTIST STATEMENT: At 24, mt daughter Nina has reached a place with her photographs
that Ive been trying to get to all my life. Her black and white distillations of nature capture
the essence of the Maine landscape, and have inspired me to think/create outside of my
box. The drawings begin on large blocks of paper - marks placed at random - notes played
in answer to her work. I crop them as my eye directs and pair them with her images. They
become echoes - delicately suspended in windows of a story.

If I Were You
$750 One of a kind
12x24 photo, acrylic paint on stretched canvas

ARTIST STATEMENT: David Jeffrey is an avid photographer of birds and wildlife. It

seemed the exquisite white bird could not have any feathers ruffled, so I decided to
respond by scratching a drawing of a baby bird through black paint on a tiny white canvas.
The title IF I WERE YOU assumes a conversation between parent and child, but not sure
whos giving advice to whom.

The Accidental Monk

$450 Edition of 10

27.5x14.5 photograph, matted and framed

ARTIST STATEMENT: Maybe it was the 15,000 altitude. Maybe it was the enigmatic land of
Tibet. But for two people who had only just met we couldnt stop talking. Ideas for photo
projects were ricocheting off the windows as we bumped along the road over the Khampa
La pass taking the first steps on our journey of collaboration. This project involved double
exposures on 35mm film based around Fire, one of the five Tibetan elements. The process was
simple enough. Eileen shot a roll of film, rewound it back into the canister and posted it to Olaf
for a second set of exposures. We were refreshingly free from rules. We could shoot anything
related to Fire, using any lens, any subject matter. The second set of exposures never matches
the first set of frame lines so we expected interesting outcomes as elements in the images
blur and merge and as the borders became part of the artwork. What we didnt foresee was
the appearance of an Accidental Monk. On the left hand side of the image there is the blurred
outline of a monk, head bowed, tending a candle and making his devotions. In reality this
monk doesnt exist. It was the result of our collaborative process. Pure serendipity.

Christine Moriello

Wave
SOLD Edition of 10
12x18 archival inkjet print, 20x24 matted and framed

ARTIST STATEMENT: In my continued exploration of the themes of identity, sense of

self and the connections we make, I became increasingly aware of the distance growing
between me and my adolescent daughter Esme. I realize her secrets and her magic are
not meant for me right now. They are all her own, meant to swirl and form her into the
amazing creature she is to become. When she emerges, she will have much to share.

Belties, Rockport,Maine
$1,200 Edition of 50
11x33 archival pigment print, matted 20x40

ARTIST STATEMENT: William Henry Fox Talbot, one of the inventors of the medium of
photography, called the process a little bit of magic realized! Inundated by the digital
onslaught of imagery we are faced with on a daily basis it is easy to lose sight of that
magic. An expressive print is evidence that magic happened and when found by its
audience it gifts that magic to the viewer and becomes theirs.

Peter Ralston

River of Heaven
$550 Open Edition
17x20 archival inkjet print, matted

ARTIST STATEMENT: Cruising around making images on Raven with a friend, we learned
that all of the schooners in the Maine Windjammer fleet would be gathering that evening
off the Wooden Boat School over in Naskeag Harbor, at the eastern end of Eggemoggin
Reach.

We photographed them as they all sailed and paraded around that end of the Reach, and
then as they drew close to a close, they all dropped anchor off the school wharf. When
it was clear that a few of them would have their sails up all night, I had the first gleam of
the possibility of this photograph. In my minds eye I pre-visualized what - just possibly - it
might all look like.

Berlin 2012 - 125

$900 Edition of 3
16x24 color pigment print, framed 22x30.5

ARTIST STATEMENT: This is number 125 of 209 exposures made at the Berlin Hauptbahnhof -
the new main train station - in 2012. I shot over the course of a few mornings and afternoons,
during non-rush hour periods. Seventeen photographs made the final edit. Each of the
pictures just jumped into my camera; three was nothing I could do about it. It was the most in-
the-moment shooting experience I have ever had.

As Mark Twain said in his introductory notice to Huckleberry Finn:

PERSONS attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting
to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot it in will be shot.
Sal Taylor Kydd

Cow of Stars
SOLD One of a kind
4.5 x 6 Platinum-palladium print matted

ARTIST STATEMENT: My work is primarily an exploration of memory, how we preserve

memories and how they shape our lives moving forward with sometimes illusory certainty.
It is also a reflection on time, and an examination of the fleeting moments where we
behold change within ourselves and the world around us. I see the photographic object is
a keepsake of our experience. It is a way of recording discoveries that serves as a reminder
of what we have lost and what we are attempting to preserve.

Harrison Walker

Point of Origin, Cliff 1

$375 One of a kind
4x5 cyanotype and gun bichromate, matted with found paper, 13x17

ARTIST STATEMENT: This series is an exploration of points of origin in which I began to

build new relationships in Maine. The landscape became an integral part of my building
of relationships, both with a new environment and in meeting new people. The landscape
has always been important to me. Although not present, each pinhole was exposed with
interactions happening in front of the lens. Due to the long exposures the figures are
typically not present.
Lee Anne White

Leeks (Allium porrum)

SOLD Edition of 15
Limited-edition archival pigment print

In her 1893 book, To Know the Wild Flowers, Mrs. William Starr Dana refers to the many
benefits of being on a bowing acquaintance with flowers. I love that phrase and know
just what she means, only I like all parts of a plantflowering or not, and in every season.
Plants have personality. And just as with people, if you take a bit of time to get to
know them, you may be both surprised and delighted by what you discover. A Bowing
Acquaintance with Plants is a series of black-and-white portraits in which I introduce
plants that are sometimes familiar, sometimes nothoping others might see the unique
characteristics and gestures that give them personality.
