Terry Evans’ Greenland photographs

March 3, 2010
by Juli Lowe

During the grey days of March and February I still have a great view from my desk—Terry Evans’ aerial photographs. I recently learned why there are multiple colors of water within a single image. The pool of green water comes directly from the sea.  The bright turquoise pool of water is melted glacier that remains separated from the sea water. The color comes from minerals in the glacier. In speaking with Terry about this, she also told me about her fascination and confusion with her inability to judge the size and scale of the ice because there were no human markers. It is hard to believe that the front of the glaciers are 70m high, roughly a 20 story building.  You can view more of Terry’s Greenland Glacier series here.

Josephine Sacabo – Inside the Artist’s Studio

February 26, 2010
by Juli Lowe

Today in “Inside the Artist Studio” we visit Josephine Sacabo’s studio in New Orleans.

“The way I set up the studio, the guiding principle for it, was to create a space for reverie. Every object, fabric, etc. in there is evocative in some way for me and sets me daydreaming. There is a magic mirror/screen in there and every object or person I photograph reflected in it becomes a metaphor of itself. The first large room is for shooting and lounging and reading and thinking and daydreaming.  The second room is my workshop which is probably not much different from printing workshops have been since Guttenberg. There are drawers for papers, inks, and my beautiful press which is in itself a masterpiece of design and function. On the walls I have copies of works by artists that inspire me like Goya and Rédon.”  -Josephine Sacabo
