The  Photography Atelier 29 will showcase at the Griffin from March 7 – April 4, 2019. The reception will take place on March 10, 2019  from 4:00 – 6:00 PM.  Ralph Mercer’s Myths and Jennifer Georgescu’s Mother Series also run from March 7 – April 4, 2019 with receptions on March 10, 2019 from 4:00 – 6:00 PM. The Chervinsky Award presentation will take place at 6-6:15 PM on March 10, 2019.

The Atelier is a course for intermediate and advanced photographers offered by the Griffin Museum of Photography. You are invited to come view the photographs at the Griffin Museum, 67 Shore Road, Winchester, MA 01890.

Photography Atelier Instructor and Photographer Emily Belz said, “It has been my immense pleasure to work with the photographers of Atelier 29. Seeing each student’s individual work evolve over the 12 weeks of the course was inspiring; many risks were taken and boundaries pushed, and the resulting portfolios showcase the diverse interests and talents of these 21 photographers. I am honored and humbled to have taken part in the evolution of this work, and to lead the Atelier, a workshop with such a long and meaningful history for photographers in the Boston area and beyond. My thanks to Dennis Geller for his stellar assistance during the course, and to the Griffin Museum of Photography for providing emerging-to-advance photographers the incredible opportunity to build their work and present it to the public in the Museum’s galleries.”

The 21 photographers of Photography Atelier 29 include: Anthony Attardo, Carole Smith Berney, Becky Behar, Terry Bleser, Ann Boese, Dawn Colsia, Frank Curran, Tim H. Davis, Mark Farber, Dennis Geller, Sarah Gosselin, Janis Hersh, Tira Khan, Bruce Magnuson, Amy Pritchard, Astrid Reischwitz, Darrell Roak, Leann Shamash, Susan Swirsley, Amir Viskin and Jeanne Widmer.  


Anthony Attardo says that his focus is on the gracefulness of spaces and structures in the southern New Hampshire towns.

Carole Smith Berney‘s botanical photographs isolate a small piece of nature to reveal its uniqueness.

Becky Behar‘sphotographs of her daughter are inspired by Dutch master painters.

Terry Bleser‘s photography serves as a means for personal exploration and advocacy for the natural world.

Ann Boese says that she frequently photographs the landscape and her work is rooted in the agricultural world.

Dawn Colsia photographs on her daily walks with her dog around Jamaica Pond.

Frank Curran‘s photographs feature the solitary figure within the urban environment.

Tim H. Davis‘ photographs provide a glimpse into an ever-changing city.

Mark Farber’s photographic work is about place, as inhabited or shaped by people.

Dennis Geller‘s photographs tell an elusive story of an alien world, just next door to the real world in which we live.

Sarah Gosselin‘s images of feathers represent a person’s inherent strength and the tension between what is shown to others and  internal life.

Janis Hersh‘s photographs contrast the architectural elements of life at the high school she tutors at in Boston.

Tira Khan‘s photographs are inspired by the short story, The Yellow Wallpaper, published in 1892 by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, in which the protagonist sees a woman trapped inside her bedroom wallpaper. The wallpaper becomes a metaphor for the social mores of the Victorian era.

Bruce Magnuson explores Chelmford, Massachusetts at night with a nod to Edward Hopper.

Amy Pritchard explores the impermanence of both the seemingly permanent landscape and herself, through long
exposure self portraits set in areas that are experiencing high levels of erosion.

Astrid Reischwitz photographs in her late grandmother’s room.

Darrell Roak is drawn to photographing abandoned structures and spaces.

Leann Shamas photographs Irma, her 95 year-old mother, in a centuries worth of hats.

Susan Swirsley photographs are a collaboration between herself as photographer and Mallika, a movement and visual artist.

Amir Viskin says that he uses “abstraction as a means to move beyond a conventional representation of mundane landscapes.

Jeanne Widmer photographs the unguarded moments of childhood.

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.
