The
Group of Seven Era
by Juan Wilson
The Group of Seven were painters
living in Toronto who first exhibited together in the spring of 1920
at the Art Gallery of Toronto. These artists were Franklin Charmichael,
Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, Frank Johnson, Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. macDonald,
and F.H. Varley. This group of Canadian artists captured the natural
beauty of the Canadian wilderness almost a century ago. Many examples
of their work can now be seen in Toronto at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
Early
Spring in Panama
by Juan Wilson
These images were taken as part of
a series documenting the weather from an upstairts window of my house
in Panama, New York. An old black and white CCTV camera (like a security
camera) was hooked up to a 1987 vintage Amiga 2000 Computer. A single
image was scanned into the computer every day for about six months.
The results for Bud are published below at about a quarter of their
original size.
Chautauqua
Watershed
by Juan Wilson and Linda Pascatore
A watershed is the area of land from
which rainfall will drain into a particular body of water. It is a
more natural and ecologically based way of looking at a region than
county lines or political districts. This series deals with the watershed
of Chautauqua Lake in western New York. We traveled around the boundaries
of the watershed and took photographs which were scanned into Photoshop
and manipulated. We also wrote a haiku-like poem and description of
the site for each picture. The idea for this project grew out of our
involvement in the Chautauqua Greens. Our friend Bruce Michaels suggested
the Greens take a tour to "circumnavigate our watershed." The thirty-three
images in the series are available below for viewing.
