About the Item
Archival digital print, edition of 25 (#256)
26 x 39 inches unframed
36 x 48 inch inches in simple black frame, 8-ply mat
AR non glare glass
John Griebsch learned how to fly an airplane when he was just fourteen years old. Since then he has combined his passion for flying with his love for photography. Today, Griebsch creates his own images by flying throughout landscapes, both in America and abroad, capturing compelling man-made and natural aerial compositions that have culminated into a 300 print series entitled, 'Aerias'. In this image, Griebsch captures a busy industrial factory scene. Large brown buildings dominate the foreground while a white cloud of smoke is expelled by one of the factory's large chimneys. Black shadows from the tall brown buildings create beautiful contrast against their rigid shapes and the dark brown ground. The archival digital print is complimented with a contemporary black frame with an 8-ply mat and AR non glare glass, measuring 36 x 48 inches.
Artist statement:
My aerial photographs present a sense of selective design applied to an extremely small and specific area of the vast landscape over which I fly. I find the need to make geographical sense of the earth, as well as the need to make visual sense of a photograph.
I work with ambiguity of scale, the graphic quality of nature and with the hand of man upon the landscape. My images have an abstract and often painterly quality. They are at once factual and interpretive.
Familiar landscapes take on a fresh context when airborne. The images require the confluence of several factors. There is the subject – a minuscule segment of the landscape that has captured my interest due to its sense of pattern, order or disarray. There is the essential contribution of light. There is the position and altitude of the airplane, and there is a need to capture the stillness and composition of the moment while moving over the subject at more than seventy miles per hour.
My earliest aerial photographs were of ice and farmland, made close to home. The scope of the work opened up on solo flights across the continent in my vintage 1952 Cessna 170B. Those flights are made to find images of landscapes on a grander scale as well as unfamiliar opportunities to find images that take in a small detail.
In my most recent work I’ve discovered what might be regarded as historical or documentary themes – some of the images of factories and quarries present relics of the country’s industrial past, while my newer images of the landscape and agriculture denote changes in the scale of farming and open space.
My images are typically presented as framed 30” x 40” or larger prints. The existing body of work, titled Aerias is comprised of more than two hundred images. Collections of my images have been placed in corporate and business settings and in private collections.
I started photographing when I was twelve years old. My father taught me to fly when I was fourteen years old. Before taking off on my first solo flight, he admonished me not to go out of sight of the airport. I was soon out of his view and yet from where I was, the airport was always in sight. Such are the perceptions of a photographer who is airborne.
