Phil Nesmith

Nesmith uses wet collodian ambrotypes on black glass with an oil varnish on this series of work, Line of Sight. In this body of work he explores some very secure locations that the United States have built for our security. With the process he chooses, he modifies our understanding of time, bending and folding to memory. He questions the idea of progress, and America's obsession with security and uses this process to maybe allow us to see something change. I love how the artist has put his beliefs behind his medium choice and how its represented within the photograph.
