James Turrell: Three Gems, Skyspace at the de Young, 2005
In 2005 American artist James Turrell created one of his Skyspaces for the sculpture garden at the de Young Museum in San Fransisco.
“Although Turrell has created other skyspaces, his project for the de Young will be his first skyspace to adopt the stupa form. The sculpture will be sited in a grass-covered hill in the Osher Sculpture Garden. Viewers will walk through a short tunnel cut into the hill, and then enter into a cylindrical space carved out of the hill. The retaining walls of this cylindrical space will be white concrete and the floor will be red stone. At the center of this cylindrical space will be a rough-hewn, black basalt stupa form. Entering the round stupa through a door, viewers will sit on a stone bench that runs around the circumference of the skyspace and view the sky through an oculus cut in the roof of the chamber. Viewers’ perceptions of the sky color will be subtly altered by an L.E.D. lighting system inside the chamber, and by changing light and weather conditions outside the chamber.”

Ian F.G. Dunn, Exposure Time 2014
Back in September I participated in an event at CAM Raleigh called Exposure Time, which was a fundraiser for the museum as well a celebration of photography in the area. This is a portrait I took of my friend and fellow Film 9 member, Ian F.G. Dunn. For Exposure Time, Ian (aided by Nick Pironio) was creating wet plate collodion portraits of his lucky subjects. I photographed Ian in his wet plate work shirt during one of his brief pauses from shooting.
