Bryan David Griffith: IN A BIG WORLD WANDERING August 25th - September 28th, 2011
In A Big World Wandering showcases photographs by artist, Bryan David Griffith that seem remembered, retold, or dreamed. He depicts situations as metaphors for how we are often alone in a big world wandering; our destinations unclear in places that are ambiguous and often absurd, yet beautiful and inspiring. Each image portrays a figure in the act of making a choice: to fall to despair or accept ambiguity with whimsy and wit. Griffith photographs without electronics using an old medium-format camera body outfitted with homemade lenses crafted from vintage optical components. The captured images are printed using a 19th century platinum-palladium method onto handmade Japanese paper yielding a delicate translucent print. There will be a closing reception for In A Big World Wandering on Wednesday September 28th from 5-8:30pm where published books of the exhibition can be purchased and signed by the artist.
