My Top Artist that relates to my work
Winship
photos all have some time of barrier, path, tracks, fences, or something in the
pictures, but the individual subject matter brings the viewer back to
"connection and unity, separation and forgetting, but essentially
connected". Each photo echo’s
some type of sadness within the variety of shots but still there is a relation
between two subjects that play off of one another. Whether the deer heading
toward a highway that typically symbols freedom, or a young boy wearing a
military uniform and the not knowing of joining and what it can bring, each one
has an underlying issue that the viewer is faced with.
Conceptually Winship
chose some really strong images for the viewer to connect with and see the
different relationships involved. Slowly photo after photo my mind went through
to a different depth that I had not thought this series was going to go. Each
photo in the series is black and white, disconnects the color to each photo and
adds a form of honesty, and getting past any type of dramatization excepts the
issues involved with the photo. Each photo seems to act singularly except as a
whole echoing the same message.
Thought this series
was well thought out and planned. It is a tough series on many levels, on many
different subjects, but ties them together extremely cohesively. This is
something I would like to strengthen myself as a photographer. Each photos
talks some of the same language but adds a different view in relationship to
the world.
