Reception for the Artist – August 23, 2025 4 to 6pm
We are pleased to present the solo exhibition of Griffin artist member Francisco Gonzalez Camacho. Selected for an exhibition prize during our 30th Annual Juried Members Exhibition by Director Crista Dix, Camacho’s works are visual, emotional moments, finding calm among the landscape. We are pleased to showcase his series of works during our celebration of our creative community this summer.
Reverting –
Reverting reflects upon the profound material connection between the landscape and image-making, exploring environmental issues and the objectification of nature in Iceland.
Developed in Reykjavík with the SIM artist-in-residence program, this project merges photography and printmaking through material experimentation, seeking alternative ways to engage with the landscape.
Issues like gentrification, waste, and environmental degradation, largely driven by tourism, challenge the idealized image of Iceland’s natural beauty. During my stay, I photographed highly visited natural locations, which I reinterpreted in combination with the creation of my own handmade recycled paper from waste.
This exploration mirrors the transformative process of manifesting something from the void —a form of alchemy of waste— with the delicate equilibrium of our environment, and the perpetual cycle it follows.
