Water’s Edge

Focus Gallery, June 7 - 29, 2019

Water’s Edge is a series of photographs taken from 2012–2019 along a short stretch of the Yukon River that remains open throughout the winter. I travel along these river banks almost daily and am constantly observing how the light and conditions change from day to day and year to year. 

Many of these scenes I have revisited multiple times looking for the right image to capture the unique conditions of this area. While I began by focusing on the broader landscape, in more recent years I have been drawn to more intimate details, textures and graphical elements. 

I work in black and white—without colour I rely on light, texture and contrast to tell a story and create emotion. These silver gelatin prints are created by hand using a completely analog process. While technology can mimic the end result I believe it can never fully recreate the energy, artistic depth and tangible quality of a darkroom silver print.
