Manassas to Culpeper is a 98 part portfolio stemming from my interest in time, duration and chance.
In May 2014, I was looking out the window on the Northeast Regional train in Virginia when I noticed a lightning storm in the distance. After the train left Manassas I put my phone to the window, and, hoping to capture a lightning strike, started shooting. I put the phone down prior to the next stop, Culpeper.
A few months later, I posted the 98 photograph sequence to Instagram. At that time, the program cropped all images to a square format. This random crop reiterated the chance nature of the initial framing which had been determined by speed of the train and the mechanism of the phone.
About a year later, I printed the images and viewed them on the wall for the first time. Walking the length of the sequence (and retracing the trajectory of the train), I focused on details ancillary to the original goal: a red truck, a speck of blue, the blur of trees, then lumber blocking the foreground. I became conscious of the compression and extension of time in the images and thought about several related works: Walter De Maria’s Lightning Field, often represented by a spectacular lightning strike in contrast to my experience of the work which was subtle and about sustained looking; Pauline Oliveros’ concept of “deep listening”; and a short single channel video, Lightning (Paul and Marlene Kos, 1976), in which Marlene turns towards and then away from a lightning storm taking place behind her repeating, “When I look for the lightning, it never strikes. When I look away, it does.”
Looking up the timestamps of the Manassas to Culpeper sequence, I discovered that the first shot, img_5679, was taken at 6:15:04; and that the last, img_5776, 6:18:38. 98 images recorded in 3 minutes, 34 seconds. The tension between the brief, impulsive act of recording and the time it takes to “see” each image – the considered duration of “deep” looking – prompted the creation of the portfolio.
I recently completed the folio box so Manassas to Culpeper is now available as a 98 part boxed set!
