Two series of photographs, <em>Port Holes <\/em>and <em>Rain<\/em>, engage watery landscapes and diverse weather conditions, embracing the lens as a tool, adding layers to the images captured.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong><em>Port Holes<\/em><\/strong> is a series of images taken from the hold of a ship navigating along the St. Lawrence River as it travelled toward the harbour of Montreal. The thick glass of the porthole is marked and stained from the effects of saltwater and weathering, transporting the scene to another time or place, isolating the view and the experience. Jeweled landscapes are juxtaposed with the mysterious, stark darkness of the ship&#8217;s interior.<\/div>\n<div>The <strong><em>Rain<\/em><\/strong> series takes the viewer to the surface of the ship, with the camera and lens facing the weather and impending darkness head on. Though water accumulates on the lens, elements of the scene emerge through the fog and rain, revealing an uninhabited watery world hovering between night and day, land and sea.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>May 10 &#8211; June 2, 2012<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening: Thursday, May 10, 5 &#8211; 8 p.m. with the artist present<\/p>\n<p><strong>Katzman Kamen Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Vantage turns the viewpoint back toward the camera, or rather references its presence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=10203\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10203","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10203"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10203\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11680,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10203\/revisions\/11680"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10205"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10203"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10203"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10203"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
