LINDA ROSSI ALEC SOTH ARTISTS’ STATEMENT We met in Linda’s Introductory through Advanced Photography class twenty years ago. Linda still remembers Alec’s images, which quietly asked the viewer to reflect on the specific detail within a larger ambiguous space, often resulting in an unexpectedly rich experience. Today, we both engage with photography as a journey, teetering with our cameras between control and wondrous discovery. This method of walking the edge between the known and unknown becomes a “field guide” for both teaching and artistic work. Carleton College’s Goodsell Observatory, dedicated over a hundred years ago to the quest for celestial knowledge, provides a fertile meeting ground for our parallel visions. INTERSECTIONS
LINDA ROSSI ALEC SOTH COLLABORATION STATEMENT The Observatory is less a conventional collaboration than a conversation across time. Alec visited the Goodsell Observatory at Carleton College in 2001 for the project Vantage Points. He used the frame of the window to articulate the relationships between inside and outside and between constructed and natural environments. “I don’t know a lot about life at Carleton. I’m a tourist. Maybe that makes the beauty more apparent. From my first day on campus, I found a distinct and consistent beauty. This beauty has something to do with the mix of rural serenity and intense scholarship.” Linda created the installation Optic Nerve in Goodsell in 2006, an intervention into the space that dramatized artifacts and intensified the sense of history. “In the illuminated display case surrounding the base of the large telescope, I replaced the old glass plate images of stars and galaxies (see an example in Alec’s photograph Fly and Comet) with my own pictures, printed on glass, of science experiments and objects.” Visitors pass through the lobby to the window-lined room above (Alec’s photograph Observatory), where the reflecting telescope reaches for the stars and The Moon and the Sea of Crisis was shot. In 2011 we talked about the provocative intersection of our work within Goodsell Observatory and read Rebecca Solnit’s A Field Guide to Getting Lost. We selected particular images (Rossi’s Luminos and Soth’s Fly and Comet) based on Solnit’s concept of the Blue of Distance. Blue Distance is both optical and emotional; blue defines the edge of vision and embodies the longing for a distance we never arrive at. INTERSECTIONS
