Photographs by Renée Creager O’Brien will be on exhibition during the month
of June 2002 at Cool Beans, S. Western Ave. Queensbury, NY.
The photographs in this exhibition were made using 120 b & w negative film
loaded in a 1924 Brownie camera converted into a pinhole (lensless) camera.
In a chemical darkroom, positives were made on archival papers then
hand-colored with Marshall’s Photo Oils. Each image is a unique print.
The photographic selections represent recent work that examines landscape in
the broadest sense of the term. It is a contemporary landscape veiled in
timeless human experiences such as work, leisure & daily ritual.
Renée Creager O’Brien lives in Hadley and teaches photography at Adirondack
Community College.
