We would be wise to employ art a definition of which is as comprehensive as possible, which includes potentially everything man makes. Though rather an involved observation, I truly like the part to which I have added emphasis. The statement was made by Edmund Burke Feldman in his Arts and 'Variations 7 Edd Kincaid amazing book, Varieties of Visual . Experience;" a book I quickly gathered in my hands at the recent Friends of the Library book sale. As an acquaintance of mine might say "What a deal!" A $65-plus book in near perfect condition for $2.50 and I'll be reading it for the next six months. That is if my arms get enough muscles to hold it up. As an admirer of all things creative well, almost all things I like the thought that FINE ART is no longer defined strictly as painting and sculpture. A case in point: photography. Once considered simply a means to record an immediate happening, it has now come full circle with the likes of Ansel Adams leading the way. David Whitten arrived in Park City in 1980 from Glouchester, Mass., with no other thought than to ski, play, ski, eat when necessary, play and ski. To eat, of course, one simply worked at one of the many restaurants eagerly looking for help. (A typical American boy.) Later in 1985, a more serious David took a class at the University of Utah, "Careers." This was a special course that If A ' 4 try z-z exposed and tested students to determine what interests and abilities they might have hidden in their inner selves. David's results? Dentistry, computers and photography. In retrospect David recalls he had always enjoyed art, but never gave it a thought career-wise. He purchased a camera, and today, almost 10 years later, it is seldom out of his hands. His love of outdoors, camping and backpacking became a natural for his subject matter. Today, his photographs of nature are to be seen on walls from coast-to-coast. It wasn't easy. Equipment was expensive to purchase, not only a camera, but the cost of supplies, . film, printing, etc., always seemed to him to be going up. Taking an early print to Valline Gallery on Park Avenue, David impressed Robin Valline, who Artworks Gallery the pi ace to look for contemporary art in Park City by EDD KINCAID Record guest writer For years I have been in and out of Artworks Gallery T"1 " admiring the many pieces offered in glass, wood, ceramics, jewelry. You name it. They have it with the exception of paintings. Cynthia Kimberlin, manager for the past four years, gave me a brief history, "In 1982, several of the resident artists of Park City decided to establish a permanent place to display their talents. "They banded together in an effort to form Utah's first contemporary cooperative gallery. The gallery was originally staffed by the artists, but pressures of time taken away from the creative process was too much." Today, a staff headed by Kimberlin under director Judy Summer, jewelry designer and sculptor, maintains the gallery. Summer was one of the original founders in '82. Roger Fuller, also a founder, specializes in custom gold creations, in particular wedding rings, which many a Parkite and others throughout the country have displayed on their left hand. (Some stay there longer than others.) Fuller's attraction to the unusual shows up in his choice of gems and fossils from his home state, Utah. ill Ms,. . l tell te-ll mf PARK CITY HOME VIDEO 1821 SIDEWINDER DRIVE PROSPECTOR SQUARE (Next lo Nacho Mamas) Movie Camcorder TVi Video Players Carries Sun-Thurs 11-9 Fri-Sat 11-10 SEPTEMBER SPECIAL Rent Any Three Videos '. . : . ... & Receive a FREE ' 2 liter PEPSI Product or Microwave Popcorn 649-2572 eye to photography 4 -Si "Mine Relic" by David Whitten offered him a job framing art pieces. No more restaurant work. Later he worked with Stacy Phillips at the then newly-opened Flat Rabbit Gallery. Today, it is solely photography which occupies David's time. "Aspens and Mountain Maples" is probably his most well-known and frequently purchased photo. "Mine Relic," which was dpne in 1989, is a wonderful shot from the Park City Ski Area, featuring standing, weathered timbers of an old mining building covered with snow in a forest of skeleton Aspens and snow heavy pines. It is a true symbol of old Park City. "Superior Peak Grizzly Gulch" is a wonderful composition of trees, mountains and sky, untouched by anything but the human eye. David approaches his work with a variety of techniques from Gallery mm -sir l. -..m ' $fJiM pure black and white to various ; color methods. In color he frequently hand tints, though recently he has been using the Ilfochrome Classic printing process. Ilfochrome Classic incorporates a polyester base and pure azo-metallic dyes to produce a material that is archival. It will out-last any other photographic ; print process known. In fact, it has a 200-year guarantee. Get it in writing and put it in your will! In addition to his dedication to photography, David has a commitment to Park City and in : particular, the art community. He is presently president of the Park; City Professional Artists Association, which has some 60 ; members. The Park City Art Festival Advisory Committee also claims him as a member. Locally, his work may be seen at the Kimball Art Center and the White Wolf Gallery. Review He states: "I am fascinated with the primitive local Anasazi culture and I attempt to express it in my rock-art jewelry." His favorite petroglyphs are transformed from rock to silver with his skillful use of the jeweler's saw, cutting the exact image and "overlaying" it on another sheet to create a recessed and darkened image. Bruce Larrabee's ceramic pieces are traditional in shape, functional for their purpose, and with jewellike jewel-like glazing that would please Mr. Tiffany himself. Larrabee was also one of the original founders. I have always had a love for wood. Lane Phillips specializes in working with native woods, capitalizing on their unique qualities. He states, "Nature gets it halfway there." In addition to bringing out the innate grain of each piece, he uses his background in ceramics to find the perfect form for his porcelain-like wood bowls and vases. I highly recommend Artworks Gallery as a must stop to view contemporary local and regional artists' works. Matn Street PIZZA&NOODLE 645-8878 530 Main Street 5.
