Tim Carpenter - Local Objects
Borrowing its title from theĀ Wallace StevensĀ poem in which ālittle existed for him but the few things / for which a fresh name always occurred,āĀ Tim CarpenterāsĀ Local ObjectsĀ is a solid yet remarkably unassuming body of work: a calm, steady rhythm of 74 medium format photographs made in the semi-rural American Midwest. While each picture meticulously frames the seemingly random non-activity of a typical āstreet viewā image, Carpenterās contemplative sequencing allows a surprising harmony of natural and geometric motifs to modulate quietly throughout the book ā an interplay of minor chords that draw the viewer into this specific physical place (mostly central Illinois, where he grew up) and the subjective, literary space of the work. Detached from the urgency of current affairs, stripped of all excess, Carpenterās photographs reflect a poetic attempt to see āthe thing in itself,ā to make meaning with the barest tools possible.
