Pamela Pecchio, Hide the Sun
 

Pamela Pecchio, The Prisoner

Both from her show On Longing, Distance and Heavy Metal.

"The rich, large-scale photographs are inspired by Heavy Metal music and the artist's emotional state during a time when her home and professional life existed in two separate cities. The artist connected to the landscape as she drove between the two places, and began to photograph it. The resulting images are psychological interiors layered as densely as the music that got her through the distance.

"Made at dusk and dawn with a view camera the photographs invite the viewer to engage. Pecchio describes a dedicated listener of metal to be 'enveloped by the sound, temporarily held inside the tangled web it creates.' In this work, she looks for photographs that hold the viewer in a similar space, finding visual rhythm and dissonance in the landscape of North Carolina and Virginia."
