VISIONS OF WELLNESS

‘The wonder is not in seeing new lands, but in seeing familiar landscapes through new eyes.’ It’s a pleasure to look at the world through the eyes of a great photographer such as Raymond Gehman. I was visiting friends recently and saw some of Raymond’s photography and persuaded him to do an impromptu showing on the spot. Raymond worked for many years for National Geographic, a magazine which has been sustained by its great photography for many decades. You can see more of Raymond’s photography and order prints at this site.

Here’s a small sample of Raymond’s work, which he submitted to ‘Well’. Click each thumbnail to see the full photograph.

The Ashes and Snow exhibition includes more than 100 large-scale photographic artworks, a one-hour film and two nine-minute film haikus. None of the images have been digitally collaged or superimposed. They record what the artist himself saw through the lens of his camera. While Colbert uses both still and movie cameras, the images are not stills from the film. These mixed media photographic works marry umber and sepia tones in a distinctive encaustic process on handmade Japanese paper. The artworks, each approximately five feet by eight feet, are mounted without explanatory text so as to encourage an open-ended interaction with the images.
