Artist Spotlight: Briney Lindemuth Briney Lindemuth is a local artist whose striking photography we are very happy to have on display for Through My Eyes . The three pieces we have up are from a body of work that has been inspired by Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick. Each photograph gives reference to an excerpt in the book, quotes that connect Briney with the many characters and their plight for survival. Although I live in the dry desert, and the novel takes place on the rocky sea, I feel a similar connection between the opposite harsh climates and a kindred spirit with the characters, trying to live in a place that holds so many obstacles for survival. The desert, a dry and arid place with little water to be found has a commonality with the ubiquitous ocean and it’s endless amounts of water but none sustainable for human consumption. Both natural environments are full of life, yet nothing that can be easily detected on the surface. In our human plight for survival, whether in the city, the Sonoran Desert, or the ocean, there exists a hopeless feeling of loneliness and separateness. Yet, when looking beneath the surface of turmoil, one can usually find a place sustainable for survival. Her pieces were captured with a large format camera and traditionally printed in the dark room. Stop by and enjoy the beautiful photographs on display and maybe add one to your home collection or start your collection with a piece from our show.
