A Tribute to photographer David Pace

Posted on October 23, 2020

man in hat and hand on chinYesterday Diane Jonte-Pace, David Pace’s wife let us all know that David had passed away after 6 weeks of hospitalization to bring his leukemia into remission. David had hopes of a bone marrow transplant. What a tragic loss for his family and friends and our photography community.

Here is Diane’s message about David’s passing.

Dear friends,
This is Diane Jonte-Pace, David’s wife. I write with sad news. After more than 6 weeks of hospitalization at Stanford, David passed away this morning. The chemotherapy was ineffective at bringing his leukemia into remission – a requirement for the bone marrow transplant he had hoped to receive. On Monday morning David told me and our daughters that he loved us, and asked the medical team to end the interventions. He requested palliative care for a peaceful death. He spent his final day at home. Our daughters and I were by his side. I know how much he appreciated the support he received from you, his Facebook community. I thank you all for being part of his life. I will continue to monitor his Facebook account periodically. With sorrow and gratitude for your friendship. – Diane

In a few days we open with a collaborative exhibition between David Pace and Stephen Wirtz called WIREPHOTO. David was to do an upcoming exhibition talk and book signing. He called to ask if he could do the talk from the hospital but we told him to focus on getting well and we rescheduled the talk for much later. One never knows what is around the corner.

WIREPHOTO wouldn’t be the first exhibition for David at the Griffin Museum. We exhibited his Burkina Faso: Night and Day in January to March of 2013. David came to Winchester to share his experiences of the brickyards of Karaba and dancing under the stars in the darkness of night in Bereba where the camera flash is the only light. It was a full audience. Those guests still tell stories about his spirited lecture and photographs.

We are committed to keeping David’s photography and spirit of community alive for future audiences. We will speak his name, of his photos and of his journey often, to celebrate this man who danced to life under the stars to a West African Pop beat.

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.
