A slow, forty-minute walk along the canal behind the studio, photographed in every season. Water, herons, and the same three bridges.
Test frames, chemistry mistakes, and rolls left unfinished. A short archival series about the useful parts of what does not work.
Photographs of the reverse side of postcards — the writing, the stamps, the light coming through the paper.
A short walking series in a stand of coastal pines north of the studio. Vertical trunks, filtered light, and the same three paths returning.
Cedar Room Photographs is a small photography studio led by Ellis Vandermeer. Prints are pulled by hand in editions of eight to twelve, numbered and signed on the reverse.
The studio publishes two to four new series each year. Long-term projects — the canal path, the pine woods, the cedar shelf — are extended slowly and shown in small formats.
