The Seeming Impenetrability of the Space Between by Colin Blakely, a hot edition from 20x200.
When I started to write this post there were nine 8x10s of Colin Blakely's The Seeming Impenetrability of the Space Between left for sale on 20x200. Now there are three. By the time you read this, who knows? I think you should buy it now. Buy it big; for city dwellers, here is a chance for you to surround yourself with art from the heartland. That field!
Blakely quotes Charles Baxter in his statement, "I live quietly in this midwestern city of ghosts and mutterers." Look for them, they're definitely in this print.
Ms. Bekman writes, in the 20x200 newsletter,
"This particular photo is one of my favorites from Somewhere in Middle America, wherein Colin manages to evoke the everywhere of our center, while never straying more than a block or two from his own home. Colin first got on my radar with this project last year, when he was selected for the Winter Edition of Hey, Hot Shot!. Since then, fellow HHS! panelist Lesley Martin and I have frequently commiserated about the lyrical qualities of both the images and titles of the series. (There was, in fact, some back room lobbying from Ms. Martin to be sure to include a piece from Colin on 20x200.) While it's wonderful to have a woman of such impeccable credentials as a champion of his work, hers is just one voice in a chorus of admirers. His skills, both photographic and titular, are held in high esteem by other photographers, and yours truly too, but of course!"
