Ralph Weiss’ photography is an ongoing exploration of natural forms. Working only in black and white, he uses vintage camera and darkroom equipment that is painstakingly maintained. Weiss’ images test the edges of light and most of his prints require hours in the darkroom. The exhibition of works produced since the 1990s, drawn from a private collection, focuses on images of ice, water and sea plants. These photographs represent a powerful set of images of the natural world. Drawing attention to the ordinary has been the artist’s on-going pursuit. Mr. Weiss’ says, “I use the camera as a means of presenting to others aspects of reality which are revelations to myself. Unlike some artists who impose their personalities on nature, I allow nature to infuse itself into me”. Reception March 24 from 2-4 pm. 1 pm.
