Love & Loss: Gilded Photographs by Barry Iverson and Samy Iverson - 25th September - 12th October . 2024
Love & Loss brings together the work of seasoned photographer Barry Iverson, with that of his late son Samy Iverson. Their work is paired together here as gilded photographs in an inseparable twist of fate. Gold leaf gilding, the process of applying thin sheets of gold to the surface of objects or paper to create a lustrous, golden finish, has a long history. It can be dated back to the ancient Egyptians where it was often used to adorn tombs, statues, and sacred objects symbolizing immortality, divinity, and the eternal. Utilizing his own photographs and those of Samy's, Barry uses ithis delicate and deliberate process as both a form of adulation and meditation.
Presented here, Samy’s potential in photography is preserved by his father. Their shared interpretations of abstraction, the natural world and the urban environment through the process of gilding imbue each work with a sense of presence and absence offering us a radiant testament to love and loss.
