ABOUT THE ARTIST

“Marc Goldring makes photographs that capture the familiar in unfamiliar or unexpected ways.” My recent work, including “The Edge of the Pond,” “Imaginary Landscapes,” and “Trees: Skin Deep” portray small slices of the natural world and the interplay between the natural and human worlds. I have shot in these places over the course of years, portraying reflections, colors, forms, and textures that make ambiguous and evocative images and portray decay in a new, elegant light.

I have exhibited in solo shows at The Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA, the Brookline Art Center, Brookline, MA and at the Atrium Gallery at 50 Church Street, Cambridge, MA. Recent group exhibitions include Scollay Square Gallery in Boston City Hall, the Praxis Gallery, Minneapolis, MN; Cape Cod Art Center, Bauhaus Prairie Art Gallery (online); and Cambridge Art Association. I have created several books of my work. Discovering the Familiar documents my photography and writing through 2008. More recently I have published two books of my recent work – Trees: Skin Deep and The Edge of the Pond - all of which are available for sale.

My approach to photography echoes my artistic practice in an earlier career when I created sculptural forms in leather. My vessels are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City and the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Gatlinburg TN. I also received a Fulbright Lectureship to New Zealand and a New Hampshire State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Grant during this time.
