By photographing breathtaking ports of call, such as Grenada, Newport, Palma de Mallorca, Porto Cervo, and St. Barth´s, Cory Silken invites viewers “to experience a taste of the high life, including exceptional locations and multi-million dollar super-yachts.”

“Color of Wind,” a series of his yachting photographs, is on display at the Griffin Museum at The Cambridge Homes in Cambridge, MA, August 2 through October 3. An opening reception is August 3, 7:30-8:30 PM.

Silken is known for his sepia-toned panoramas, but these photographs are saturated with brilliant colors. The images are stretched five feet wide on “gallerie wrap” canvas and Silken’s remarkable timing captures the interaction between yachts and the dynamic play of sailing.

Whether he´s invited aboard the newest super-yacht or flying in a helicopter for the afternoon, Silken uses his privileged access to the private vessels to find unique vantage points and deliver an arresting perspective of the sport.

“The scope of this collection of works takes the viewer out of daily life and into the beauty of motion, color, and competition that lives on the water,” Silken says.

An avid outdoorsman, Silken´s main photographic and outdoor interest is yachting. He has crewed aboard the America’s Cup fleet in Newport, Rhode Island, and enjoys racing Firefly, a wooden Herreshoff S Class boat, in Narragansett Bay. Silken travels the world photographing boats, yachts, and ships for assignments and fine art work. His work regularly appears in local and international yachting and luxury lifestyle magazines, and has been published in several books. He also collaborates with filmmakers to provide full motion and still media solutions.

Silken has a gallery, Mariner Fine Art, in Newport, Rhode Island, and his work can be seen at www.corysilken.com.

Floor Plan

Amy Rindskopf's Terra Novus

At the market, I pick each one up, pulled in by the shapes as they sit together, waiting. I feel its heft in my hand, enjoy the textures of the skin or peel, and begin to look closer and closer. The patterns on each individual surface marks them as distinct. I push further still, discovering territory unseen by the casual observer, a new land. I am like a satellite orbiting a distant planet, taking the first-ever images of this newly envisioned place.

This project started as an homage to Edward Weston’s Pepper No. 30 (I am, ironically, allergic to peppers). As I looked for my subject matter at the market, I found that I wasn’t drawn to just one single fruit or vegetable. There were so many choices, appealing to both hand and eye. I decided to print in black and white to help make the images visually more about the shapes, and not about guessing which fruit is smoothest, which vegetable is greenest.

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Artistic Purpose/Intent

Tricia Gahagan

 

Photography has been paramount in my personal path of healing from disease and

connecting with consciousness. The intention of my work is to overcome the limits of the

mind and engage the spirit. Like a Zen koan, my images are paradoxes hidden in plain

sight. They are intended to be sat with meditatively, eventually revealing greater truths

about the world and about one’s self.

 

John Chervinsky’s photography is a testament to pensive work without simple answers;

it connects by encouraging discovery and altering perspectives. I see this scholarship

as a potential to continue his legacy and evolve the boundaries of how photography can

explore the human condition.

 

Growing my artistic skill and voice as an emerging photographer is critical, I see this as

a rare opportunity to strengthen my foundation and transition towards an established

and influential future. I am thirsty to engage viewers and provide a transformative

experience through my work. I have been honing my current project and building a plan

for its complete execution. The incredible Griffin community of mentors and the

generous funds would be instrumental for its development. I deeply recognize the

hallmark moment this could be for the introduction of the work. Thank you for providing

this incredible opportunity for budding visions and artists that know they have something

greater to share with the world.
