photo-eye Gallery is excited to introduce new work from Ernie Button's Vanishing Spirits series.
Ernie Button’s photographs are a treat to the imagination. A journey along the delicate lines and vibrant colors that constitute the artist’s imagery, can transport the viewer's mind to a distant planet, or maybe a petri dish alive with microorganisms.
The level of abstraction in Button’s work is elemental — perhaps a scientist or a philosopher might study the origin and evolution of the universe through these beautiful and captivating images. One would never guess that this study could be founded or sparked by a film of spirits, left in the bottom of a glass. But the easily overlooked details stunningly captured by Button's photographs, remind us of the relevance we give to scale and how at the end the importance we place on dimensions might be irrelevant to a deep experience of life — the eye, the nebula, or a film of Whiskey — the history of our universe is written in everything that comprises our reality.
As part of our video series photo-eye Conversations, photo-eye Gallery Director Anne Kelly interviewed Ernie Button about his photographic practice and his most recent work from the Vanishing Spirits series. Watch this stimulating conversation below or on Vimeo.
