ELAINE DUIGENAN: IPA AWARDS

We are delighted to announce that Elaine Duignan has been awarded a 2nd Place in the 2016 International Photo Awards. The award is given for the Blossfeldt's Apprentice series, which we debuted at the AIPAD Photography Show at the Park Avenue Armory in New York earlier this year.

Elaine Duigenan's work takes a close look at objects. Things are never quite what they seem, and her work is pared down to find singular beauty. Pale specimens glow in inky black spaces and appear to hang by a thread. There is strength and fragility, perfection and imperfection. Her work teases the viewer as images hover somewhere between quirkiness and elegance.

ELAINE DUIGENAN: AWARD WINNER

MOSCOW INTERNATIONAL FOTO AWARDS

We are delighted to congratulate gallery artist, Elaine Duigenan, on being awarded 2nd place, in two categories of the 2016 Moscow International Foto Awards, with her newly-released series Blossfeldt's Apprentice.

"The images are of objects made out of twist ties.  They attempt to recreate some of the plant structures that were revealed in iconic photographs by the German artist Karl Blossfeldt (1920’s). The limits of working with such a humble material become the prime focus as the struggle to imitate nature is shown in loose threads and the tension between perfection and imperfection".—Elaine Duigenan.

Elaine Duigenan's MICRO MUNDI

During June—August 2010, we exhibited a new series of photographs by our gallery artist, Elaine Duigenan, entitled Micro Mundi. In this intimate series of images, she has photographed the arterial wanderings of snails, as they graze upon algae, leaving behind an aftermath of claw-like patterns—caused by the rasping action of the snail’s spiky tongue.

On a micro level, these rambling, chaotic and protracted patterns, attest to a seemingly plodding yet vigorous life-form. On a macro level, they’re dendritic appearance resemble earth’s estuaries as viewed from far above. By presenting the images within a circular frame, these stunning monochromatic photographs are transformed into floating planets, as we would imagine them to be on a cosmic scale. The planetary metaphor is further enhanced with titles that refer to cartographic terms of old, that placed Earth in a philosophical and religious setting.

Prior to their completion and exhibition, an image from Micro Mundi was launched into space on Shuttle Atlantis on November 16th 2009.

This came about as a collaboration with Astronaut Leland Melvin, who was so taken with the ideas in the work, that he offered to carry an image on the mission and photograph it in a window of The International Space Station. Below is Elaine Duigenan's photograph, Orbis Atlantis, in the The Kibo Lab and photographed by Leland Melvin to connect with the Earth (see the Amazon River).

As we write, Space Shuttle Atlantis is completing its final mission. You can own both a small piece of its illustrious legacy and an exquisite photograph by a talented artist.  Orbis Atlantis is available for purchase through the gallery in two editions.
