EVENTUALLY YOU HAVE TO JUMP THE TIDE
call & response photo collaborations
Tania David & Randee Silv
“The photographs in this stellar collection, Eventually You Have to Jump the Tide are absolutely top-notch, magnificently composed. I love how they explore varying degrees of symmetry and non-symmetry, contrast and connection. I also love how in some cases, the dividing line between the two panels isn’t immediately clear, so they almost look like two parts of the same physical environment. I love the mix of objects, perspectives, textures, and environments they explore.” – Neil Flory
“Nothing brings us more directly into contact with a world than a picture. For many years now, Randee Silv and Tania David have been engaged in a pictorial dialogue by exchanging photographs from the neighborhoods of Ridgewood/Bushwick NY. and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, respectively. Eventually You Have to Jump the Tide is the latest result of their ongoing call and response collaboration. The black and white images presented here, employing juxtaposition and nesting, emphasize gradations of light and abstract harmonies of line and shape, as the things observed become geometric objects, and forms and figures arrange themselves into symmetrical and asymmetrical compositions. With this elegant collection of Silv and David’s art we’re privy to an encounter of two unique yet complementary sensibilities bringing us news of their urban and organic environments.” – Daniel Barbiero
“It’s really wonderful. I appreciate the visual connections between the diptychs–sometimes it is a visual formal element that ties them together such as a line or shadow, shape/form. Or the light. Or the subject. In some images, the diptych is not distinct, but instead becomes a whole. Having the images up against one another with no space in between is also an effective visual strategy. It adds an element of mystery to not know whose photo is whose–a true collaboration where the work intertwines.” – Colette Copeland
