Stephen Althouse’s luxurious black and white prints of tools and
shrouds showcase the power behind everyday objects. Their worn
and weathered appearance, undoubtedly like the hands that had held
them to accomplish hard work, demands attention to the detail found
on their surface. Some wrapped in, some concealed under white
linen—the two become a study in contrast between the hard and the
soft. These images are meditations on the lives of the workers who
have used the tools and the distance these items have traveled over
time to be displayed before us in such a noble manner. They are tales
of binding and loosening, the tension between freedom and restraint.
