HOVER

PHOTOGRAPHS BY GREGORY CREWDSON

TEXT BY RICK MOODY, DARCEY STEINKE, JOYCE CAROL OATES, BRADFORD MORROW

Highly acclaimed novelists Rick Moody, Bradford Morrow, Joyce Carol Oates, and Darcy Steinke reflect on the color photographs of artist Gregory Crewdsen in Hover. The seamless blurring of photographic realism and hyperbolic fiction produce a complex and compelling set of tensions that bring together the ordinary and the sublime, beauty and repulsion, domesticity and wilderness, and nature and artifice. In this collision of styles and intentions, a language and pictorial effect hovers between realism and unreality.
