Cig Harvey: A Measure of Air
Cig Harvey’s show, A Measure of Air, is a response to an investigation into the world of the senses. While continually exploring the intersection of the mundane and the marvelous, this work focuses on images that operate primarily on the sensory plane and evoke unconscious emotions that precede any intellectual understanding of the work. In becoming more aware of moments in making the work when immediate, physical and unconscious feeling were brought to the surface, it is these subliminal emotions that are highlighted. These photographs appeal to the senses first, narrowing the distance between the image and the viewer.
Tollef Runquist
Beginning with familiar imagery inherent in the coastal landscape, Tollef shifts and changes these as the creative process unfolds. He leans into the passages within his work that are discordant in one way or another; flawed perspective, conflicting light sources, spatial shifts, underpainting, and revision. He chooses to give these moments life, creating an overlapping narrative of different imaginings.
David Graeme Baker
David Graeme Baker lives and works in Hancock, Maine. He is a graduate of Wesleyan University and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. David’s contemporary domestic genre scenes are imbued with mystery and tension creating enigmatic narratives that explore our relationships with ourselves and one another. The slower pace and domestic surroundings created by his young family have influenced his work.
