Ian Turnage-Butterbaugh
Selected during Challenge 2019
Ian is a fine art photographer from Northfield, MN. Through his photographic work, he attempts to present the viewer with a unique perspective of a scene by revealing the contextual elements that often are at the fringes of awareness. Each photograph in this series is a blended composite of 20 to 34 images of an object from various distances and angles, which creates a juxtaposition between the stillness and passage of time and reveals the context in which the object exists. This process results in a somewhat ambiguous artistic medium at the intersection of photography, sketching, and painting

Series Title: Photo Sketches Description: Each piece in the Photo Sketches series is a blended composite of 19 to 75 black-and-white photographs of a stationary object (typically a building) taken from various angles and distances. Using a manual blending technique, the photographs are aligned in a way that manipulates the object's natural lines and dramatically accentuates its texture. This process results in a somewhat ambiguous artistic medium at the intersection of photography and graphite sketching and offers a unique, if not surreal, perspective of each scene.
