TENSOR TESSERA: Alfred University Gallery Documentation
My senior exhibition at Alfred University two weeks ago.
Four 29x29”, four 14x14”, and four 10x15”.
All hand-printed gelatin silver photographs
The crookedness in the first image is residual from the panoramic stitching I had to do to document the wall, the frames were perfectly level in real life.
SUMMER THUNDER by CHRISTOPHER LANGE
I made this photograph last summer, standing on Vesey St. in Battery Park. The light had been incredible that afternoon, a mixture of hazy sun and dark skies. Eventually the clouds reached their breaking point and the torrent began.
The business day was coming to a close and all the suit-and-ties leaving work darted about like confused cats, hoping to stay dry at all costs. I constantly wiped the eyepiece of my viewfinder, which seemed to fog up again the instant I put my eye to it.
The water rushed over the curbs , ousting the businessmen from their hiding spot as another gust stole an umbrella. I shoved my camera inside my bag, stepped into the downpour from the cover of my awning, and walked to the corner of North End.
My shirt soaked through in the 20 seconds it took me to get there.
anyone fancy a game?
CLARK MEZZANINE by CHRISTOPHER LANGE
I leaned against the wall of the elevator as it crawled downward to the platform level of the Clark St. 2/3 station. Nervously thumbing the advance on my camera, I watched as the light of the mezzanine hallway slid upwards through the elevator windows as the car came to a halt. I snatched a frame as the doors opened, half hoping to catch someone unaware through the gap, half just wanting to get a picture of the doors sliding apart.
I let the camera fall to my side as I sprinted through the partially opened doorway and down to the platform just in time to see the doors of a Wall bound 2 jolt open for me. I landed in Manhattan a few minutes later, and emerged into a frigid gust of wind, and blinding early Spring light.
