Sumpweissager (Bogseer) detail, Richard Selesnick,
Iris print, 18” x 54”, 1999

Brooklyn-based artist Richard Selesnick says that his Bogdweller series “was almost entirely conceived during an idle afternoon spent in a copy shop making colour copies.” According to Selesnick, the Bogdwellers exist in “a mute world that somehow exists outside of time. This may be because it is a post-apocalyptic world, or maybe it is because the bogdwellers themselves have become so isolated from other societies that they exist in total separation from the conventional flow history.” The series was shot on location in Cape Cod, Scotland and Ireland. The photograph detail above was taken at Strath Suardal, in the Red Cullin Mountains, Isle of Skye, Scotland. Richard Selesnick is represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, (518) 828-1915.
