Gary Dwyer LONGING: Work Prints From A Series |
||||||
|
Gary Dwyer is a professor of Architecture and Environmental Design at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California. The first two decades of his career were spent exploring and discovering the vagaries of sculptural landscape expression. During that time he won a Design Award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and was selected to serve on the Design Arts Division advisory board of the National Endowment for the Arts. He was commissioned to design a garden based on the theme "Time" for the Minnesota State Prison for Women and photographed the Botanical Survey Project on Baffin Island in the Northwest Territories. He has also documented the World Heritage Sites for UNESCO in Vietnam. Through photography he began to develop a vision that included both place and the observation of that place. In the process of recording his own work Dwyer began seeing both urban and rural landscapes with a honed and intense photographic perspective. What engages Dwyer the most are common visual circumstances which are oddly unreasonable and often unnoticed. The images for Longing were taken during several of Garyıs European trips and date from 1996 through 2001. His work has been exhibited at the Corcoran Galley in Washington D.C. and the Oakland Museum in California as well as numerous other galleries and museums worldwide. |
