Sewickley Gallery & Frame Shop | Richard Snodgrass Presents Kitchen Things

3/1/2007 - 3/31/2007

Richard Snodgrass’s portfolio of fine art photography. He was interested in the form of the objects and thought that by isolating the utensils from their normal environment, and either enlarging or miniaturizing their images, he could show the beauty of the forms themselves.

He often photographs places devoid of people in order to capture something of the spirit of those who normally inhabit those spaces - to reveal the nature of the people who live there by showing what he has referred to elsewhere as the “stage settings of our lives.” It seemed a logical progression to focus on singular objects from those environments. If the images were successful, something of the spirit of those who had used the utensils might come through.
