Description |
Photograph of the Stone family on a Dayspring Church outing. Scenes from Tyler, Texas Artist Robert Langham is a naturalist and environmentalist. Langham's hometown Tyler is in the Blackfork Creek watershed, high in the Neches River drainage. His Blackfork Bestiary series is a portfolio of live animals and insects from this Blackfork Creek ecosystem. The animals and insects he photographs are then safely released back into nature. In Langham's still-life work, he creates what he refers to as a "kinetic still life". He reinterprets what we think of as a traditional still life with movement and fiction done in camera without post-processing trickery. Langham's work is deeply rooted in a sense of place, reaching deep into the Texan psyche to explore the whimsy and endless possibilities that the open expanses of the Southwestern landscape have inspired, and continue to inspire, within imagination. |
