Please join us as we welcome Georgetown College art professor Darrell Kincer to the gallery for his exhibition FIXING THE WIND. As he explains the artwork in his show, "These photographic works are an exploration of materials and process. They are produced in the darkroom with physical objects – plants and botanicals placed on photographic paper and exposed to light. After traditional development with black and white chemistry, the resulting prints are altered further through a chemical process to produce the finished images. The title of the series has a double meaning that helps explain both the print and the practice. In one sense, these photographs produce a unique and unforeseen vision of nature, fixing a peculiar and dreamlike environment for observation and contemplation.

 

And in another sense, the method used to produce these images can be extraordinarily finicky and somewhat unpredictable. As photographic silver and darkroom chemistry interact, the results can be as mysterious as the wind."
