Still Looking After All These Years: Artwork of Gordon Hutchings

Gordon Hutchings has been making photographs for “nearly 60 years now.” That is a long time and this exhibit shows that Gordon is indeed Still Looking After All These Years. ??In the 1960s when Hutchings began making photographs, all photography was film-based and “wet.” Gordon continues to process his 8×10, 5×7, and 4×5 sheet films using the Pyro film developer he created and to print his images on traditional silver-gelatin papers. He says he simply prefers the materials and processes with which he is familiar.

Which is not to say that the way Gordon works has remained unchanged over the years. Those of you who have previously seen and appreciated Gordon’s work may notice a difference in these works. Gordon has recently begun changing his printing technique.
