About the Item

'Lucky Lucille, Vicksburg, Mississippi' is an atmospheric print by Morgan Silk. It is available in this size of 18" x 18" in a limited edition of 10. Two women catch up over a basket of fries and beers as they put the world to rights. In the right-hand background a baseball game plays out on two screens. Fairy lights scatter across the interior of this theatrical looking bar, casting minuscule pockets of glowing light over the interior landscape. Taken during a road trip across the United States in 2014, Silk’s project ‘Nightwalks’ captures the cities and people in reflective and introspective moods so intrinsically linked to the small, quiet hours of the morning. Starting in New York and ending in New Orleans via Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama, ‘Nightwalks’ is the hush that falls over a city after the sun sets; it’s the moment between a bar-goer reaching for and taking a sip of their bourbon; it’s the moment when the inhabitants of the city go inside, and the city itself wakes up. Silk states about the project: “Similarly to much of my other work, the images are purely observational and were unplanned without any particular concept or idea of any particular subject, shot on the hoof with a pocket camera and no other equipment. No setting up, no waiting for the light. More akin to street photography in approach. I warm to the concept of no concept when out with a camera, it’s where my love for photography began and I find the best images I make come out of nowhere, unexpectedly and without preconceived ideas. You have to allow yourself to be receptive and let things flow freely, just being there in a totally new place, equipped and present at the right moment. The images instinctively come to you if you are open to seeing them. Thinking can get in the way sometimes so simply going out with a camera in this way is more about photographing by feel and less about thinking.” All prints sold unframed. Other print sizes available, contact the gallery for more details. Lead times between 5-10 days.
