and Land of Enchantment by Christopher Moss
October 6 - October 29, 2011

David Moss: Transient Equilibrium and Christopher Moss: Land of Enchantment will be on display at Isadore Gallery, 228 N. Prince Street in Lancaster, PA from October 6-29. The two artists are father and son.
David Moss studied at Millersville and Syracuse Universities. He is an Associate Professor at the Pennsylvania School of Art Design where he has taught for 25 years. Moss has had solo exhibitions in Lancaster, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Harrisburg and is included in the collections of Armstrong World Industries, the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts, and Lebanon Valley College. He was the recipient of Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fellowship Grant and won second prize in painting at the Art of the State exhibition in Harrisburg.
“I am interested in an intimate but elusive image; one that is experienced through the entanglement of memory, imagination and the immediately sensual. These images are found through an improvisational process that intentionally courts ambiguous dialog between both random and systemic structures, humor, flux, and a sense of forms slowly unfolding an uncertain identity and a tenuous order.”
“Meaningfulness presents itself in small fleeting moments of intuition. It is recognition of a specific state of order always on the periphery, a phase transition from thought to feeling and back again, a transient state of equilibrium and understanding. These small moments are ultimately the subject and ambition for my work.”
Christopher Moss received a BFA at Pennsylvania College of Art and Design and has shown in group exhibitions in Lancaster and New Mexico. He works locally as a commercial studio product photographer.
“The New Mexico sky seems to roll out into infinity over a land that is both beautiful and ruthless, incorrigibly rugged and serene. The air is suffused with the stories of struggle and joy, time comes to an abrupt stop and the land begins to speak.”
“The land of Enchantment is a photographic immersion into a world where past, and present collide, creating a visual dialog between the forces of time and nature. These photographs strive to evoke a moment when the natural world and the progress of human history intertwine into a dance that spans generations.”
The artists will be present at Isadore Gallery for the First Friday reception on October 7 from 5-9 PM. Please visit the gallery during ArtWalk on October 8 and 9. Normal gallery hours are Thursdays and Fridays, 10-6, Saturdays 10-5, and by appointment call 717-299-0127.
