Joshua Sariñana’s photographs are representations of his travels back in time to memories from the past and present. These images allude to his early adulthood memories of love, wonder and isolation. Sariñana says that using imagery to ignite feelings that are difficult to confront, can provide a nostalgic relief as one grows.

Sariñana’s series, Prosopagnosia, is featured in the Griffin’s satellite gallery, The Griffin@Digital Silver Imaging, from October 4th through December 4th, 2016. A reception will take place on November 10, 2016 from 6­8pm. The reception is free and open to the public.

“As a neuroscientist, I know that memories are inaccurate,” says Sariñana. “Whenever a memory is recalled it is changed. Brain regions become reactivated when a meaningful cue (the smell of a loved ones t-shirt, a melancholy song, a picture of a childhood friend) presents itself. The reactivated brain becomes susceptible to change for a shorts time, allowing new information or feelings to be inserted and integrated into our past experiences or potentially peeled away from psychological access,” he says.

Sariñana obtained his neuroscience degrees at the University of California and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but is currently a writer and fine arts photographer. Joshua’s photography has been exhibited nationally and internationally. His work has been shown at the SoHo Art house, the Houston Center for Photography, the Mobile Camera Club Gallery in Paris, and at Photo Independent in Los Angeles. Joshua work has been featured on Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post, and “Time Magazine”. Most recently, he has been published in the photography publications Don’t Take Pictures and The Smart View. He has been interviewed on various blogs such as like Vice Magazine.

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.
