Lacunae: Selected Photographs by Abbot Moffat
The upcoming exhibit in the Gallery @ Panorama Framing displays a series of black and white photographs by Oakland local Abbot Moffat.
Moffat’s aesthetic for this series is inspired by the early photographic process, the daguerreotype, which required using a metal plate and lengthy exposure times. With Lacunae (from lacuna, Latin for a void or missing part), Moffat focuses on sculptural antiquities – restricting his gaze to fragments isolated from the whole of his subject – and puts the resulting image through a multi-step process to create a “digital daguerreotype.” The result of this process creates a dreamlike quality of a portrait with tarnished edges. Moffat elaborates, “I hope to restrict the viewers gaze in a similar manner, while at the same time granting both the subject and the images a simultaneous quality of antiquity and transience, to become a piece of silver tarnished and worn by the ages.” Lacunae: Selected Photographs by Abbot Moffat runs from November 5, 2015-January 3, 2016. The opening reception is Thursday, November 5, from 6-9.
