This exhibition is a collaboration between photographer David Whitmer and printmaker John Isner. The work consists of fine art prints made using the Vandyke Brown process, a late 19th century alternative photographic printing process that uses iron salts and silver to achieve a rich, warm brown color. Each print in the series features a single saguaro cactus. Like a formal studio portrait, each image is composed to highlight the individuality and presence of a single saguaro, not just as a botanical specimen, but as a character with its own distinct personality, sometimes exuberant and sometimes solemn and dignified. Desert Places are also featured demonstrating the cyanotype process.
