Images Distorted By Gasoline – Peter Hoffman

By Patternbank On March 24, 2013 · In Inspiration

Patternbank are loving Peter Hoffman’s gasoline doused, photographic studies of Fox River. An Illinois based photographer, Hoffman’s work strives for a quiet, studied approach and in this vein, he is often hired to photograph sensitive subject matter. In this series Hoffman uses the backdrop of the Fox River as it meanders through Chicago. The negatives of these mesmerizing images were spray-coated in gasoline and then lit. The process was very hit and miss but we are sure you’ll agree the end visuals look amazing in colour, subject matter and texture.

By Patternbank On February 4, 2013 · In Inspiration

These mesmerising aerial photographs of The Great Salt Lake in Northwestern Utah are a surreal mix of abstract shapes and deep colours that challenge the viewer as to the scale and origin of these large scale photographs. Some of the images clearly show the evaporation ponds that are commercially operated to extract salts and minerals for industrial use. See more of David’s extraordinary photographs on his website.

Jenny Odell – Humanity Seen From The Stars

By Patternbank On January 8, 2013 · In Inspiration

San Francisco based artist Jenny Odell facinates and inspires with her collection of satallite view art. With a MFA in design from the San Francisco Art Institute and a BA in English Literature, Odell has featured work in the Google Headquaters and Les Recontres D’Arles in France, and has appeared in numerous magazines and publications. ‘In all of these prints, I collect things that I’ve cut out from Google Satellite View,-parking lots, silos, landfills, waste ponds. The view from a satellite is not a human one, nor is it one we were ever really meant to see. But it is precisely from this inhuman point of view that we are able to read our own humanity, in all of its tiny, repetitive marks upon the face of the earth. From this view, the lines that make up basketball courts and the scattered blue rectangles of swimming pools become like hieroglyphs that say: people were here’.

This collection dramatic skyscapes are the work of Canadian photographer Matt Molloy. By combining hundreds of time-lapse shots of each scene, Molloy creates these stunning images. “I’m a great fan of experimenting. Much like this process, you never know what you’re going to get” the risks have paid off for Molloy, this technique produces drama and movement, creating photographic art which could almost pass for painting.
