The photographer David Morris Cunningham‘s solo show, Remembrance of Things Present, opened at the Woodstock Artists Association Museum last weekend, filling one of the galleries with beautifully toned images of the artist’s favorite possessions. The photographs are simple, yet textured, representations of single objects. A tower of stones, a small wooden box, linked rings of birch bark and origami. I met with Cunningham often while he was shooting and printing this body of work. Repeatedly, he spoke of zen, poetry, and nature as influences. Once he said that he hoped each photograph created within the viewer the feeling of visual haiku—calming, centering and restorative. Cunningham’s work is well-priced and accessible. I recommend it.
