Quartet
offers a sampling of the work of Rob Amberg, Elizabeth Matheson, John
Rosenthal, and Caroline Vaughan. Their images, for the most part
made in North Carolina, are quiet and passionate, in time and outside of
time, revealing both surface and depth.
Mr. Amberg documents life in rural, mountain communities. Ms.
Vaughan's landscapes and portraits detail the increments and textures of
time. Ms. Matheson's pictures present the architecture of formality
that expresses the character of those who built and lived in such space as
well as what is past and passing. Mr. Rosenthal's photographs freeze
ordinary moments thereby allowing us to see them in what is extraordinary
and permanent.
As Georgann Eubanks notes in her introduction, Quartet presents
images "that hum with subtle harmonies, each photographer adding
another dimension to the resonant chord, all reminding us that against the
din of digital media, there is yet a place for still images and deeper
reflection."
