John Earle
Less typical of John's work are photos where there are no people. His static compositions of everyday sights - scenes of yards, solitary objects, snatches of landscape - are no less dependent on a trained documentary vision. Balanced, often symmetrical, they too are portraits of things. We were drawn to several still life images - a series from John's personal visual journal - photos of blocks, and objects - simple forms arranged in various stages of interdependence and counter weight, both stable and precariously placed. The compositions seem to imply gravity and balance, the underlying forces that keep things organized, from flying around in space. They seemed a fitting illustration of the core skills that ground RBB's practice, discussed in the "Fundamentals" section of this site.
