"The past year afforded more time
than normal for stillness and
observation.
I am thrilled to be alive and sentient.
I love making things, whether it be
building a guitar, cooking a meal
for my wife, making a vase or
setting up a little stage to take a photograph."

"I have never lost the excitement
of seeing an image on the ground
glass, turning on the lights to view
a new negative in the hypo, brushing
platinum sensitizer on a piece of
paper or viewing a final print.
It is all magical."
 

James Pitts, Ranunculus and Bud in First Sculpey Vase Shadows, 2020, archival pigment print, 15" x 19", edition of 10, $1200
 
"The natural world is astonishing and
the amount of diversity is truly
unbelievable."

interested in a dialogue between
the bloom and an environment."
 

James Pitts, Tiny Daisy Four Sculpey Vases, 2020, archival pigment print, 19" x 15", edition of 10, $1200

"Being present in the liminal space is
intoxicating and the anticipation of change is thrilling.
I am interested in human interaction 
with nature.
I am blessed with time and joyful 
to be alive."
 

James Pitts, Flower Gold Sculpey Edge of Table, 2020, archival pigment print, 15" x 15", edition of 10, $1200
 
"Photography helps me to see and 
to remember where I have been and to cherish  
this remarkable place."
 – James Pitts

photo-eye Gallery is pleased to present new work by Julie Blackmon. Focusing on the complexities of everyday life, Blackmon explores the conflicting demands of parenthood. Her carefully orchestrated narratives walk a darkly humorous line between lightheartedness and the chaos of our modern lives.
For instance, beneath the sunny inviting surface of Spray Paint, darkness lurksunsupervised children appear next to dangerous objects like a chef's knife and a discarded mask. Blackmon's satirical image speaks to the contradictions of our uncertain times and the murkiness of parental expectations.

These images are part of an ongoing series that spans over a decade. See the links below to view more photographs from this series and to learn more about Blackmon's work.
