Gitterman Gallery is presenting an exhibition of vintage gelatin silver prints by artist Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, on view through June 6, 2026. The show features a selection of her work from several series, including 'Expeditions' (1976-1984), 'Door' (1981-83), and 'Views from the Shoreline' (1986-1987), which showcase her signature technique of staging and photographing dioramas within landscapes to create surreal, dreamlike scenes.
Thorne-Thomsen's work is significant for its exploration of mythology, history, and psychology through a unique photographic process. Using a pinhole aperture, she creates seamless visual metaphors that bridge personal experience with universal themes, contributing to a deeper understanding of the medium's capacity to evoke internal states and collective memory. The exhibition highlights her influential career and the meditative, symbolic quality of her art.
