winter solstice

For the eighth year, The Griffin Museum invited all of its current members to exhibit in the Winter Solstice Exhibition. From across the world, artists entered one piece to be on display for December 8, 2020 – January 5, 2021. Photographs are presented on the walls of our Main Gallery of the Griffin and display a spectrum of genres and processes. The opening reception is virtual and on Sunday, December 13, 2020 from 4-6 PM. Sales are encouraged and many artists have donated the proceeds back to the Griffin. We are so grateful for that demonstration of support.

We exhibit the work on line, on social media and feature the work for sale in the Main Gallery and on-line if the artists choose to sell. We feature those works that are not for sale in the gallery and online as well.

The reason for this yearly exhibition is to give our members an unencumbered opportunity to exhibit at least once a year at the museum. We also chose the season of giving, providing incentives for our audience to buy photographs as gifts. This year, despite the pandemic we  received a healthy number of photographers choosing to showcase work in this exhibition.

The subject matter reflects the times. Many of the photographs are of solitary moments and reflective on the natural world. In a time of social distancing this makes perfect sense. It also tells us that our members used this opportunity to go out safely, seeking refuge in the woods, garden and studio to find significant moments in time to share with the Griffin’s audience. As Dorothea Lange said and our members demonstrate on the walls of our Main Gallery, “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”

If you see a work from Winter Solstice 2020 on-line that interests you, please inquire at crista at griffin museum dot org or call the museum at 781-729-1158 to arrange a sale.

We present the photographers of the Winter Soltice Members’ Exhibition 2020 below.

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.
