On a cool February day, more than 20 years ago, Greg Miller
@gregmillerfoto asked a New Yorker why they were wearing ashes on their forehead. Fascinated by the juxtaposition of the ancient ritual against the backdrop of contemporary New York City, Miller began exploring Ash Wednesday every year using his large format 8-by-10-inch view camera.
“I encounter my subjects on their way to an important meeting or running to catch a train, meanwhile, they wear the mark of an ancient ritual. And it’s a tangible reminder itself that we are mortal, human and that speed and efficiency are not everything.”
This body of work evolved into the book Unto Dust, published with
@lartiere. Greg Miller will be speaking about the work Saturday, December 7 during our end of year celebration with the imprint. The full line-up and RSVP link are in link in bio ❤️
