PhotoAlliance 2023 lecturer Barbara Boissevain has generously donated a beautiful print from her latest project Salt of the Earth for our Collector Print program.

In Salt of the Earth, Boissevain uses a vivid and abstract visual language combined with shifting viewpoints to enhance the surreal nature of the San Francisco Bay’s transforming landscapes while examining the impact of human activity on the environment. After several years of taking these aerial photographs, Boissevain had thousands of images and I began creating formal grids based on the year they were photographed and a common color palette. Salt of the Earth has been published by Kehrer Verlag in 2023.

This print, Salt Pond Grid VI, 2020, is a limited edition of 5 archival pigment print.
