Harrison Walker, “Portal # 065, 064, 120, 063, 004, 113,” 2017
In his first solo exhibition at Candela Gallery, Harrison Walker presents his Portals project, highlighting a mix of photographic processes through a series of abstract works. In Walker’s words, the series is “an investigation of photographic chemistry, psychological perceptions, and ideas of duplication, mimicry, and the multiple.” Through experimentation and discovery the varied effects of his photographic, printmaking, and drawing techniques, seek to elicit not only an emotional but also a fundamentally experiential viewing.
The results are unique objects with a repeated circular form. Marked with the formula for their duplication each variation carefully documented and displayed. In his meticulous manner of expression, Walker dives headlong into the unknown, making objects and images that explore the possibility for variation in texture and surface, color and form.
Walker received his MFA in Photography at Tyler School of Art, Temple University, in Philadelphia, PA. He currently lives in Athens, Georgia.
