About the photographs
Memory and invention—half window, half mirror. The beam splitter is an optical filter designed to divide light at a designated ratio. In my practice, it functions as a refractive threshold. Handheld and gestural, viewpoints touch yet remain on separate planes. Transparency and reflection converge at capture, mediating observation and interpretation. My photographs unfold as a dialogue with shifting perception, shaping worlds—recalled or imagined, familiar in feeling, held within a passing glance.
About Chris Gould
Growing up in Buffalo, I worked summers in a tool factory making metal parts. I explored the industrial landscape with my camera, combining a love of old factories with reading on history and biography. Later, I attended the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), where I spent countless hours in the darkroom learning the art and craft of photography. I graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photo Illustration. After moving to New York City, I opened a studio in the West Village and completed many editorial photo-illustrations focused on the subjects of science, technology, and information. My practice now integrates photography, miniature set-building, sculpture, and experimental furniture design. I live in the Hudson Valley, where I’ve built a home and studio shared with my wife and family.
