Martha Casanave Explorations Along an Imaginary Coastline
David Bayles
The stunning and dramatic beauty of California’s Central Coast has long been a magnet for artists and photographers, and is emblematic of the school of West Coast photography. The Central Coast was home to photographers Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and Wynn Bullock, and it remains a mecca for photographers. In this collection of photographs, Martha Casanave has taken a conceptual and imaginative, rather than a literal approach to this iconic location. Martha Casanave: Explorations Along an Imaginary Coastline captures scenes of this striking coastline from a new perspective. Equipped with only a 6 x 4 pinhole camera, Casanave transforms the recognizable into the other-worldly and brings a timeless elegance and drama to her photography never before published. This series of photographs will interest any lover of seascapes, contemporary photography, and especially those lucky enough to have visited the Central Coast of California. David Bayles is a photographer, writer and environmentalist.
