First edition of Grace by Scott Offen. First impression. Medium format hardback in new condition. About The haunting, expressive photographs in this publication can be perceived as evocations of a long and fruitful collaboration between two people whose lives have intertwined across many decades. Scott and Grace are parents, they share a profound commitment to their spiritual pursuits, they are each other’s best friends. But above and beyond persevering together through the vicissitudes of life, they have, later in their relationship, found a way of making photographs that transcend the tradition of active man with camera and passive wife as sitter. Grace and Scott explore imagination, sense of play, and the possible meanings of the natural world. In the work, they fashion an escape from the bonds of this dimension with its cultural norms and strictures on our behaviors, especially those of women. Show more
