Spot Photo Works is exhibiting works by Chris Anthony through January 12, 2015. Informed by the prose and imagery of Edgar Allen Poe, Anthony’s “Seas Without A Shore” includes wet plate collodion prints along with color photographs. Anthony implements the wet plate collodion process beautifully along with using 150 year old lenses. His vision takes us to a selective and sophisticated level of image making with fictional narratives from the bizarre to the banal.
“Making the masks, and many of the props and costumes is a big part of the process and it helps me define this unique and demented little world I live and shoot in. The mysteries of the sea is certainly a big part of the subject matter in these pictures with color images of survivors braving waves and currents, perhaps the result of a future world where ocean tides will wash away the planet’s coastlines.”
“Seas Without A Shore” is also a mysterious photography book of tintypes, portraits, still lifes and seascapes.
