Ephemeral Linescape
New work by Nick Howard and Robert Roscoe
Showing Roscoe and Howard’s work together reminded me of the old TV show “The Odd Couple.� Howard’s pen figures with three mouths full of sharp pointy teeth are casual, flippant, and slightly creepy while Howard’s photographs are carefully composed/cropped, predictable, and full of texture.
Roscoe’s image “Harbor Bulkhead, Camden, ME� is a lovely, close-up shot of core ten steel with a rusted-thru horizontal lace-like pattern. The lighting is graceful, allowing the rich texture of rust and patina to feel touchable with my eyes.
