From Mercury Project Gallery:
“Passing Through is a collection of photographic work from artists Lané Pittard and Patrick Farris. Developed in partnership, this series of images explores themes of place and memory. Attempting to capture the alertness and depth of the common darkroom “contact print” (made when a photographic negative is placed directly on top of light sensitive paper), all images are printed small and encourage intimacy between the viewer and the photograph. The artists employed elements of this printing practice in the darkroom to allow for more spontaneity, and each silver gelatin print retains evidentiary marks of the darkroom as well as the beauty and truth of something mostly untouched. This collection feels at once in tension and in harmony. Like doorways, each image is an opportunity for passing through, into something filled with both wonder and familiarity; large enough to reveal themselves, but small enough to remain a mystery.”
