| Rigging Eye, Ironworks, 2001, 24 x 20 in, gelatin silver print |
Taking as his subject a selection of hoary and venerable blacksmith-made objects (a rigging link, a rigging eye, and a measuring device called a “traveller”) each of them pitted with use and pocked with the decay, Thaddeus Holownia positions each of these objects against a velvety background. The intimacy of detail is made possible by the photographer’s use of the large negative format (8” x 10”) presenting each tool as an intriguing artifact.
