On Seeing | A Photo Book Conversation with Alyssa Minahan, Linda Morrow and David Sokosh

Posted on May 21, 2022

We are thrilled to bring together book artists who have found their way to crafting beautiful hand made books as objects of art.

Join us for a conversation with Alyssa Minahan, Linda Morrow and David Sokosh in this On Seeing online event in the Griffin Zoom Room Tuesday June 14th at 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific

We are excited to host our panel conversations between photographers showcasing the wide range of creativity on a single idea or series. Our online program On Seeing is a monthly conversation bringing together members of the Griffin community to share their work, ideas and creativity with a broader audience. We bring together these artists who have unique perspectives on creativity and the world they inhabit.

Alyssa Minahan –

He creates photographs using the 19th Century processes of Cyanotype and Wet-Plate Collodion (tintype) and makes artist’s books by combining letterpress printing with Cyanotype.  HIs current projects include: “Things That Look Like the MOON (but are not the moon);  “Objectified in the Time of Covid” and “John Rogers in the 21st Century, Contemporary Issues Seen Through a 19th Century Lens”.

Raised in Bethel, Connecticut by two amateur photographers, Sokosh began taking pictures at an early age. He holds a BA in Photography from WCSU. He moved from Connecticut to Brooklyn, NY in 1989.

Sokosh worked as a client liaison at Kelton Labs from 1989 to 1998. During that time he had the honor of working with Lillian Bassman, Steven Klein, Brigitte Lacombe, Helen Leavitt, Mary Ellen Mark, Mark Seliger, Lou Stettner, and many others.

He created photographs with the Polaroid Transfer process and received a number of grants from the Polaroid Corporation, culminating in a 20×24-studio grant and inclusion in their permanent collection. A study of the relationship between power lines and architecture was published as the book “Provincetown Lines”. His reportage series “Gay 90’s” at Underbridge Pictures in DUMBO Brooklyn was part of the Magnum Festival. His tintypes appeared in The New York Times accompanying the story: This Just in from the 1890’s

Sokosh was the director of  Underbridge Pictures which specialized in both vintage and contemporary images of architecture, exhibiting painting and photography.

Linda Morrow –

stack of booksLinda Morrow is a fine art photographer and book artist. She was born and raised in Arizona, but has happily lived in Southern California for over fifty years. As a child growing up on her family’s ranch and dairy farm, she spent long hours outdoors, using her imagination to amuse herself and memorizing details of the countryside.  Her photographs explore the natural world in terms of landscape and botanicals and reveal nuances in human nature through portraiture.

Originally an English major, Linda found her photographic art education in a rich patchwork of study at Orange Coast College, University of California Extension, Santa Fe Workshops, as well as Maine Media Workshops. She is grateful for the gift and influence of Debbie Fleming Caffery, Carlan Tapp, Cig Harvey, Aline Smithson and Valerie Carrigan.

Her work has been shown in numerous online galleries, in Davis-Orton Gallery/NY, in the Griffin Museum of Photography/Boston, in the Library at SAIC/Chicago, and in many private collections. Her photographs have been featured in Lenswork and on Lenscratch.

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.
