"THE SURROGATE"

THY KINGDOM COME

 

The title, in this case refers to the animal kingdom, where animals in an older world move, gifted with senses we have lost, living by voices we do not hear. With a metaphoric language these images examine the relationship between man, animal and earth.

 

The child intuitively walks these meridians in a pure state of living in the moment, embodying the unreflective consciousness of the animal. Migrating between the two worlds, they carry this awareness on their backs. They are the tangible form of this fusion.

 

In dreams, the magic that weaves man and animal together glows with vibrancy; there the mysteries of the natural world are plain, the connectedness of life overpowers in a true state of being in balance with the earth. The traceries of energy that link us with the animals of forest, lake and sky are alive if we are quiet enough to see them.

Beth MOON Hakkında
About Beth MOON

Orta format fimle çekim yapıyorum ve tüm baskılarımı kendim hallediyorum. Bazen çift pozlama ve pek çok negatif kullanıyorum.

Son şekli oluşturana dek, benim için görüntüyü yakalayabilmek açısından çok önemli pek çok adım var.

Tüm fotoğraflar platin-palladyum baskıdır. Bu maddeler %100 pamuklu kumaştan mürekkep yazıcı kağıdı üzerine elle kaplanmıştır. Platin, altın gibi sabit ve kalıcı olduğundan platin baskı daha arşivseldir. Bir platin baskı yüzyıllarca dayanabilir.

I shoot medium format film and do all of my own printing. I sometimes use double exposures and multiple negatives.

There are many steps involved with creating the final print and these are as important to me as the capturing of the image.

All photographs are platinum/palladium prints. These metals are hand coated on 100% rag cotton water color paper. Since platinum, like gold, is so stable and permanent, the platinum print is the most archival of any image on paper. A platinum print can last for centuries.
