Thomas Gardiner: Untitled USA (2011-2012)

I don’t know what it is about large format work (in this case and 8×10).  There is another level of emotion, of light quality, of detail that makes photographs more evocative.  Perhaps it’s the slowed down nature of image making, where everything is considered over time and the ability to capture the work is limited. Thomas Gardiner brings all those qualities to his project, Untitled USA (2011-2012) but he also brings the ability to explore “human desire and the interior dramas within individual lives”
