Collector Level Membership: $350 [Add to Cart] Bay Area native Kimberly Austin's project Adam & Edna is a visual study of her grandparents' complicated and often troubled relationship from the 1930s to the 1950s. Austin employs found images, correspondences and random ephemera that she transfers to film and develops by hand, before collaging the new imagery using the antiquarian Van Dyke process. With this intimate look at a nontraditional family, Austin contrasts the written word against the idealized portrait and investigates the possibility that “what society holds dear as natural behavior is more relative to time, place, and personal experience than to biology and contemporary codes of morality.” Austin’s work has been shown in several solo exhibitions worldwide and is included in numerous public and private collections. Most recently Austin was named winner of the 2003/2004 James D. Phelan Art Award in Photography. She is represented by Braunstein/Quay Gallery in San Francisco.

Platinum Level Membership: $5,000 Sold out Jim Campell has created this remarkable electronic light box in a limited edition of 5 exclusively for Camerawork’s Platinum members.

Robert Flynt Untitled 2000; chromogenic print, 8 x 5." Edition of 35. Collector Level Membership: $350 [Add to Cart]  Robert Flynt explores the malleable nature of photography. His images combine two photographs, one a figure photographed (usually underwater) by Flynt, and the other a found 19th century photograph, creating a new meaning in the juxtaposition. In his pairing of disparate images, he forges unexpected relationships and inferences between the subjects.

Collector Level Membership: $350 [Add to Cart]  Anthony Hooker's work is strongly based in photography, but it frequently includes other media such as music, video, and installation motifs. His subject matter generally incorporates a social theme frequently asking the viewer to reexamine popular ethical or moral principles. In The Greater Good series, Hooker revisits the enticement of African American males in Tuskegee, Alabama, into a study of syphilis. As images of untreated patients are overlapped with those of the medical facility in which the now-questionable study was conducted, Hooker interrogates the claim made by the United States Public Health Service, in 1932, that the suffering of a few hundred men (at least 15% of which died) was for "the greater good" of Americans. Hooker received an M.F.A. in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute and his work is included in several collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

His unique photos combine an imaginative eye with highly skilled darkroom technique. Using long exposures, selective cropping, and complex printing and toning processes, Horn's use of light, form, and time give his photographs a playful conceptual depth. Horn was born in Walnut Creek, California, and received his BFA from the Brooks Institute of Photography.

Collector Level Membership: $350 [Add to Cart]  In her ongoing Meat Boy series, artist Jenny Rosenberg creates tableaus of milestones familiar to a typical American middle class boy’s life. Previous images in Meat Boy’s fictional chronology have included him as a newborn, a child soccer player and as an awkward, acne suffering teen. In his newest incarnation, we find that, sadly, Meat Boy has attended his high school prom alone. Pushing these imaginary scenes to an almost absurd level, Rosenberg’s Meat Boy not only blurs the line between sculpture, performance and photography but also, for the artist, borders on an all-consuming maternal obsession. Rosenberg admits to worrying about the fate of her creation as it endures a brutal cycle of freezing and thawing for each new photograph, yet views Meat Boy’s inevitable demise as a good thing because, as she writes in her artist statement, “sooner or later all parents have to let go.” Rosenberg received her MFA in Photography from the California College of Arts and Crafts and has exhibited extensively in the Bay Area.

Collector Level Membership: $350 [Add to Cart]    In his photographic exploration of the wilderness, Phillip Scholz Rittermann finds sites that are both pristine and debased. At the root of his imagery is a concern about humanity's relationship to the natural world. Where once humanity protected itself from the wilderness, we now protect the wilderness from humanity. Much of the natural world has not fared will under man's stewardship. Rittermann's work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and many others. He is represented by Thomas V. Meyer, San Francisco. Gerald Slota Gingerbread House In Woods 2002; gelatin silver print, 10 x 8." Edition of 30 unique prints. Collector Level Membership: $350 [Add to Cart] Gerald Slota manipulates his photographs by marring the negative or the actual print with punctured holes, scratches, cryptic drawings made of chalk or pencil, cut edges, and other mark-making techniques. Slota's mixed-media works evince the obsessive, shocking, and chaotic beneath the surface of societal orderliness. This image was commissioned specially for Camerawork. While each image has roughly the same form and content, a flashlight used during exposure renders each a unique print. Called "enigmatic and disturbing" by the New Yorker, his work has been exhibited internationally and is in several collections, including the Princeton University Art Museum, the LA County Museum of Art, and the Polaroid Corporation. Slota is represented by Ricco/Maresca Gallery, New York. Tracey Snelling Watching 2004; chromogenic print, 11 x 14." Edition of 25. Collector Level Membership: $350 [Add to Cart] Influenced by film, landscape, books, and architecture, Tracey Snelling creates sculptures, photographs, and installations of structures. Snelling’s work constantly turns in on itself: a photograph of a building can lead to a sculpture of that building, which in turn, is photographed once again. Scale continually grows and shrinks in the work, as is evident in Watching, the image offered as part of Camerawork’s Fine Print Collection. In this photograph of her mixed media video sculpture, a video of the room plays on the small TV, echoing the scene and posing the question: What is real and what is not?

Arne Svenson Sock Monkey #48 2002; gelatin silver print, 14 x 11." Edition of 30. Collector Level Membership: $350 [Add to Cart]  Arne Svenson’s series Sock Monkeys came about after meeting collector Ron Warren and learning of his collection of over 1,800 sock monkeys. Fascinated by the scope of the archive and the individuality of each monkey, Svenson offered to photograph each specimen using traditional studio portraiture techniques. This approach allows for the possibility of revealing the imbued personality of each sock monkey while simultaneously underscoring the role of photography as an archival tool. Playful in nature, this series also reveals the thread of obsessive curiosity that runs throughout Svenson’s oeuvre. A collection of this series was published in 2002 by Greybull Press/Ideal World Books, New York. Arne Svenson’s work has been exhibited widely throughout the world and is included in a number of private and public collections. He is represented by Julie Saul Gallery, New York.
