ABOUT

As any artist or photographer can tell you, independently funding a full body of work and preparing the work for exhibition involves constant financial struggle. Receiving a grant to make Removing Mountains in 2007 was amazing, but if I kept waiting for another large sum of money to be awarded, I might never make another project. In 2009, I launched a print sale to hit the road for part one of a two-part trip to Southeast Ohio. The result of that trip is the edit of Plume that is currently on my website. I was able to fund the trip entirely through your generosity.

Plume is almost done. After one more trip to the region this summer, I will be able to make a complete edit and begin showing the work. Later this year I will have my first full exhibition of the work at the Appalachian Center in Kentucky. I’m launching a second print sale effort to fund the return travels to the region this summer and prepare for the Kentucky show and future exhibitions.

If you’re looking at this page, thank you, sincerely. I know not everybody who wants to help financially can, so if you’d like to help me out, post this link on your blog, Twitter, Facebook, whatever. Send an email to your uncle who likes pretty pictures. If you help me promote this on your blog, shoot me an email, and I’ll send you a thank-you in the mail (maybe a print, maybe something else).

This sounds mostly like business, but beyond issues of funding, I’m 100% committed to spending dedicated time in a region that has been the victim of duck-in/duck-out photojournalism and media-driven, grossly misrepresented stereotypes. Additionally, politically, at the center of this work is the issue of energy as it relates to our ability to distribute power in every form. 2010 is a year where I/we can feel one step closer to this conversation entering the public arena in a substantial way.

ARTmostfierce Affordable Print Pick of the Week

"Larry Gibson's Chair" from Removing Mountains, Daniel Shea, 2007

"Slurry" from Removing Mountains, Daniel Shea, 2007

"Coal Seams" from Removing Mountains, Daniel Shea, 2007

ARTmostfierce Affordable Print Pick of the Week goes to photographer Daniel Shea. Daniel is pursuing a great cause with his work and prints are beautiful and extremely affordable.

See more information below and ...Happy Shopping!

The print sale will support the first visit to the region, after which I plan on working with a few magazines that have shown interest in producing a story about coal burning in this region. With a new administration and a shifting public conscious, I feel very strongly about creating work that is topically relevant and socially engaged. Much like Removing Mountains, I'm interested in providing an alternative to modern photojournalism, and presenting a more involved look into the communities in this region

ABOUT THE PRINTS AND THE SALE, TWO LEVELS OF SPONSORSHIP:

OPTION ONE:

The images below will be printed one time at the following sizes (for each image's respective proportions):

10"x10" image on 11"x11" paper, edition of 5.
10"x12" image on 11"x13" paper, edition of 5.

All prints will be produced using digital C-printing technology on Fuji Archival Luster paper. Prints will be signed and editioned accordingly.

Each print is $50-75 sliding scale, the price includes shipping to the US (international folks, email me for details). In addition to the editioned print, you will receive a small print from the developing body of work once I get back to Chicago.

OPTION TWO:

I undertstand that $50-75 is a lot of money for most people (myself included). That's why I wanted to offer an alternative to anybody else interested in sponsoring the project but who can't quite afford a $50-75 print.

On a $15-25 sliding scale, choose an image on my website and I will send you an uneditioned 8"x10" of that print.

The print will either be an archival Inkjet print or a digital C-Print and the signature will designate the image as not part of any edition.

ORDERING INFORMATION:

I prefer Paypal (Paypal email: or check by mail. Please send me an email with the subject "Print Sale" and details about what you would like in the body of the email. Prints will be reserved in the order I receive emails.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for printing and handling of the prints. All prints will be shipped flat and with care.
