This exhibition features works by Fall Sheldon Art Galleries intern Ryan Duffy, who uses Holga and Diana cameras to create dreamlike views of landscapes, gardens and domestic scenes. Duffy explains, “I found my subjects all around me, but in places I’ve never seen. They were in old neighborhoods, backyards and fading businesses; places many would ignore, but where I would find the most remarkable things. What I found were relics and symbols of the Midwest, things that told of its past, its secrets, and its drama. I wanted color to tell the story with as much precision, tonality and creative control as with black and white. In the photographs, I explore the relationship of color to the subjects, and use it to drive the narrative. The Holga and Diana are my tools for this project; their dreamy blur, dark corners, aged look, and unique rendition of color compliment my subject matter.”
