Our 2022 Artists:
Edison Arevalo: "What Lies Beneath"- June 3rd
Fascinated by illustrations from old encyclopedias, lithographs of Animalia, and especially botanicals, Edison Arevalo gathered wild plants and flowers, making illustrations. His attention was drawn to the root systems, some tangled and messy, others simple, which we never see or appreciate in any plant. That is how the series got the name "What Lies Beneath" Aravelo shot over 100 plates for this work, primarily Ambrotypes "glass plates" and some tintypes "metal plates."
Born in Cuenca Ecuador, and moved to the US at age 20, Edison Arevalo was fascinated by analog photography. He started with 35mm, moved to medium format; & ultimately started working with large format cameras. Digital photography was replacing traditional photography. Some favorite films and photo papers were no longer being made, and he looked into 19th-century photographic processes and making photographic film. Aravelo found images made with the wet plate collodion technique, which instantly caught his attention. It took years to read, learn and understand the collodion process and to build the necessary equipment and chemicals to work with this process.
