The Last Dream1996

Not on view
Black and white photograph of a figure seen from behind, body in deep shadow, long pale hair blown to one side, standing before a textured concrete wall
Gelatin silver print of tree reflections on rippling water, with dark trailing branches and a bright highlight at center, creating a blurred, abstract composition in deep tones of black and silver-gray.
Gelatin silver print, a standing figure silhouetted in dark tones within a narrow stone passageway, bright light emanating from above; extreme radial blur creates streaking lines across the entire composition.
Gelatin silver print of a white bird with wings spread wide, lying on dark soil amid bare roots and branches, high contrast between pale feathers and shadowed ground.
Gelatin silver print of a large circular rope or coiled form resting in shallow water near dark rocks, with a smaller inner ring visible, shot from above with soft tonal gradations in the water's surface.
Gelatin silver print of a coastal landscape; a large dark rock face dominates the left foreground, with a sandy beach curving toward sea stacks dissolving into mist at the horizon, long-exposure technique rendering the surf as smooth tonal gradients under a clouded sky.
Large-format gelatin silver print, coastal landscape with stone ruins and eroded masonry in the foreground, calm sea with silhouetted rocky headlands receding to a pale horizon, long-exposure rendering the water glassy and smooth, with characteristic vignetting at the corners.
Gelatin silver photograph of a dark, pyramidal rock formation emerging from a pale, motion-blurred shoreline, with a flat gray horizon beyond.
Gelatin silver print of a coastal rock formation, with jagged peaked boulders rising above swirling water in the foreground; high contrast between sunlit granite faces and deep shadowed crevices beneath an overcast sky.
Gelatin silver print landscape of a rocky coastal inlet, with jagged boulders framing a still tidal pool that opens to a calm sea and streaked cloudy sky; long-exposure technique renders the water silky and smooth.
