| Half Dome Singularity No. 1, archival pigment print with 3D printed landscape, 2020, 8 x 10 inches, edition 10, $800 |
Awe-inspiring, enigmatic, and alluring, Bateman's distinctive prints, created by photographing 3D models, are thoroughly contemporary in their concept and methodology. Produced during the ongoing pandemic, and with limited possibility of travel, Bateman crafted the work from his kitchen's table, using geographical data and a 3D printer. The artist's unique process yields captivating, abstract images depicting plastic filaments that explore the concept of the sublime through representations of the majestic landscapes of Yosemite National Park.
Last weekend, as part of our video series photo-eye Conversations, Gallery Director Anne Kelly joined Edward Bateman in an online view of this fantastic exhibition. They discussed Edward's process in re-creating Yosemite among other things — at one point in the conversation, the artist found himself enveloped in a thick cloud of fog!

Each print purchased includes a unique 3D model!
