Pamela Pecchio On Longing, Distance and Heavy Metal
Exhibition Dates: January 6 - February 12, 2010
Pamela Pecchio in conversation with Jeff Whetstone: January 8 at 4:00
Daniel Cooney Fine Art is proud to announce On Longing, Distance and Heavy Metal a selection of color landscape photographs by Virginia based artist Pamela Pecchio. This is Pecchio's second solo show at the gallery. 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.
Pamela Pecchio was raised in Atlanta and currently lives in Charlottesville, VA. She received her MFA in Photography from Yale University in 2001. Her work is included in the collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, North Carolina Museum of Art, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and the Yale University Art Museum.
