photo-eye Gallery is pleased to present Reshaping the Earth: Energy and the Environment, an exhibition of photographs by Jamey Stillings and David Emitt Adams. This exhibition observes the transformation of land due to the extraction of natural resources from the earth. This exhibition also highlights a selection of images by Bremner Benedict that explore natural springs in the Southwest, many of which are currently being threatened.

Jamey Stillings, #39386, 29 August 2022, 22x28 in, Editon of 15 plus two artist's proofs, $2,000 unframed

Jamey Stillings' stunning color, aerial photographs record rapidly growing large-scale renewable energy projects that incorporate wind, solar, hydro and mining projects in the Atacama desert of Chile. The landscape of the Atacama desert has a long history of being altered by humans due to the region's abundant natural resources such as lithium, copper, gold and iron ore.

David Emitt Adams uses historical photographic techniques to explore his subjects, sparking conversations about the past and present. His "Power" series features images of industrial landscapes from the American oil industry, captured using a custom-built camera and printed directly onto 55-gallon steel oil drum lids using wet plate collodion chemistry.


Bremner Benedict, Pinto Hot Springs, NV, Archival Pigment Ink Print, 16x24 in, Edition of 4, $1,200 unframed. 

Benedict's "Hidden Water" project documents springs in the Southwest, including the Chihuahuan, Sonoran, and Mojave deserts, the Great Basin, and the Colorado Plateau. The project raises awareness about the loss of these vital ecosystems that have long been essential to human survival but are overlooked in our modern world.
