“Shape of Water” is Atsuko Hayashi’s stunning photographic achievement, bringing to mind both the cyanotypes of Anna Atkins and the typologies of the Dusseldorf School’s Bernd and Hilla Becher. Her work explicates the beauty of one of the world’s most numerous common objects - the water bottle - as captured by a master artist. Published by Atelier VGI.

From the Publisher's Notes, "Shape of Water," by artist Atsuko Hayashi:

"When I first experienced Atsuko Hayashi’s “Shape of Water” exhibition in a small, yet highly regarded gallery in Kyoto, I was astounded by both the visual and emotional impact of grid upon grid of similar, yet uniquely distinct images within an all-embracing typology. Not only did the images bring to mind Anna Atkins’ early cyanotypes, as discussed further herein by renowned curator Deborah Klochko, but I felt they also elaborated upon the works of the influential Dusseldorf School educators Bernd and Hilla Becher."

Rear cover of “Shape of Water” by Atsuko Hayashi

“To create such beauty out of a disposable product of modern culture, gives viewers pause to consider so many aspects of what these objects represent. To create images by “exposing water, an object that has no form, to light,” Hayashi shows us that “light is reflected in complex ways in the shape of the bottle.” The elegant simplicity of her images reminds us of the true power of the simplest of elements, light and water, and their importance to our very existence. “

Hmm. Looks to me like the Irish musician Hozier (Andrew Hozier-Byrne) was "inspired" by Chika and Ichio Usui's photobook, "Communities bound together by a common destiny" for the cover image on his latest album, "Unreal Unearth." But, who are we to judge?

"Guns + America," by artist Jeff Corwin is a powerful and provocative look at the relationship between guns and America.

Corwin's photographs, taken over the course of many years, offer a unique perspective on this complex issue. Corwin presents us with a mind-reeling montage of imagery which reverberates throughout the American political and historical spectrum.

Whether his color plates of the titular subject, or his astoundingly emotive black and white American landscapes, Corwin weaves a tapestry of uniquely American scenes which cut to the core of the issues at hand.

Depending on the viewer’s choice of perspective, the interpretations of these images will differ radically.
