Kate Jordahl photographs places where spirit of the earth and the human spirit come together. The black and white landscapes she creates are reflections on the crooked, unmapped roads of our lives.

A series of Jordahl’s photographs, Crystal Day, is featured in the Hall Gallery of the Griffin Museum April 10, 2014 through June 8, 2014. An opening reception is April 10, 2014, 7-8:30 p.m.

"I plan my journey for "destinations" like national parks and World Heritage sites and then celebrate as the places between are also full of visual wonder. For all the spaces, both recognized and by the way, I strive to recognize and capture the spirit and power of place in my photographs," says Kate Jordahl.

All of Jordahl’s photographs in the exhibition are Silver Gelatin Prints, printed in editions of 50. Her work is included in various collections including Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris, France, Muse Gallery, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ohio University Library, Rare Book Collection, Athens, Ohio, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, California, University of Texas, Dallas and Yosemite Museum, Yosemite, California. She is represented by Modernbook Gallery in San Francisco, CA.

Ms. Jordahl has produced three books of photography: The Song Within, Afternoons with Ruth and Walking with Kandinsky. Her fourth book Crystal Day is in production.

Ms. Jordahl is a resident of Hayward, CA. She earned her MFA in photography at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. She is a professor and chair of the photography department at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills in California. She is also the Director of PhotoCentral, a community organization dedicated to photography, located in Hayward, CA.

Brian Alterio will give a members’ talk at 6:15 PM before the exhibit opening on April 10, 2014 at 7 PM.

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.
