Starlings rested in the tops of cottonwood trees, then they flew away.

Friday January 29th 2010 in Moab, Utah and the first doves I have seen for quite some time. A group of seventeen birds settled into the biggest cottonwood tree in my yard. The neighbor decided to burn.

"I'll Be AHEAD If I Can QUIT While I'm BEHIND"

Photographs by Brian Parkin

April 11th 6-9pm

“This final exhibition at Moab Art Works Gallery gets its title from a little-known 1970's Tom Ford song. I’ve been attracted to the lyrics since I heard the Brinsley Schwartz version, and it’s a great opportunity to use it as the title for a show of works. I’ll be displaying a variety of photographic prints from the past fifteen years.” - Brian Parkin

Barriers to Entry - new photographs

noreply@blogger.com (brian parkin) — Thu, 15 May 2008 03:25:00 +0000

Opened June 6th 2008 at Moab Art Works
The series of gate photographs "Barriers to Entry" is my first extended project since "Recent Developments" which premiered in June 2006. Once again my interest lies in the significant presence of humans in the landscape. This time I am more focused on division - here from there, us from them, privileged to enter or not. The more I have explored the Moab area looking for gates, the more I have discovered things about gates. They have a front and a back. They can be locked or not - or have a lock but not be locked. They are entrances, exits and barriers. They are used and not used. They are openings in the barriers that divide our common inheritance - land. - BP 05/13/08

More images from "Barriers to Entry" can be seen at Moab Art Works.

noreply@blogger.com (brian parkin) — Tue, 06 May 2008 03:34:00 +0000

This article is excerpted from a talk Brian Parkin gave at the Moab Photography Symposium in May 2008 called "Show Time"

Visit the gallery's website and familiarize yourself with the physical location of the gallery and the type of work it carries.
Call ahead to set up an appointment and confirm the day before.
Bring eight to twelve finished images ready-to-hang or frame-ready.
Works should form a complete series which has a title.
Title, number, and sign each work.
The work should be fresh, recently made, and in the case of prints and photographs, the whole edition should have been printed by the artist.
Artworks should be intriguing, have a feeling of being lit from within, and be market priced.
Offer derivative works (prints, note cards, posters, books etc.) at very reasonable prices.
Leave behind a resume and promotional materials with a space for the gallery stamp.
Want the gallery to be your sole regional representative.

"Recent Developments" was first shown in July 2006.

The town of Moab and its environs is presently in the midst of a boom in construction of housing and business premises for the use of full-time and part-time residents. As a photographer I am interested in the dynamic interaction of the environment and the people who use it. In my work I don't edit out the presence of humanity with the aim of revealing a pristine (but false) image of nature. Rather I wish to present to you the viewer the juxtaposition of local landscape and the changes that people make to it. Some of the changes are permanent but many of the intermediate stages are ephemeral, here for a short time before being incorporated or transformed.

Recent Developments is on display in Moab's City Hall at 217 East Center, Moab, UT. The pictures may be viewed outside the Council Chambers from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday. This work was first shown in July 2006.
