Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux. https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader When significant landscapes are changed forever it is imperative to understand what has been lost. Past down from generation to generation, stories acted as a means to address loss. Later, images embellished these narratives and then in recent times photographs offered a compelling witness. However, there is often no record, no images, and little documented local stories, that reference the natural features as they once had been and how these landmarks once impacted on local people. Blackhead, near Dunedin, New Zealand, was a dramatic headland with stunning columnar basalt rock formations that projected into the Southern Ocean and was threatened by quarrying. In 1995, artist Lloyd Godman realised that significant areas of the headland were about to disappear forever, and he committed to photograph the details of the landmark as often as he was able, producing a valuable archive of what had once been. At the time, the images were assembled into complex composite images and exhibited at various art galleries, which led to an awareness of the immediate threat to the headland. This stimulated a range of interested people to negotiate how a covenant could be drawn up to protect part of the area, which came to pass. Secrets of the Forgotten Tapu, presents an extensive series of emotive black and white photographs from Godman’s archive that acts as a witness to the sublime basalt bluffs lost forever to quarrying and the areas that have been protected by an eventual Conservation Covenant. The narrative tells the history of the headland from early Māori and their embedded legends to the importance of the place as a special surfing break and place of solace. It outlines the headlands unique geology and botany. Secrets of the Forgotten Tapu offers an insight into the creative process of working as a photographer with film and darkrooms in a pre-digital age. The images and text of Secrets of the Forgotten Tapu allow a destroyed landscape to live again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This ebook has been specifically designed as an epublication and is optimized for viewing on Thorium Reader. Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux.https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader/ Summer Solstice Journeys chronicles photographer Lloyd Godman's eight photographic expeditions on the summer solstice, from 1988 to 2008. Six of these captivating journeys take place in Otago, New Zealand, while the remaining two unfold in Victoria, Australia. Each expedition traces the trajectory of the sun or a shadow, from the break of dawn to twilight. Captured through the lens of a square-format 120 film camera, the frame is deliberately tilted at a 45-degree angle, creating a distinctive diamond-shaped image that captivates the viewer. Just as the sun teeters on the precipice of the summer solstice, poised to transition into shorter daylight hours and the arrival of winter, the camera frame itself delicately balances on a visual fulcrum. The resulting photographs showcase a mesmerizing interplay of intense natural chiaroscuro lighting, presenting stunning black-and-white landscapes that transcend the ordinary clichés of sunrise and sunset photography. Instead, they evoke a sense of performance art with a camera, reminiscent of Richard Long's exploratory walks. Throughout these journeys, the artist immerses himself in silent meditation, forging a deep connection with the planet's natural rhythms and the profound influence of solar forces. The ebb and flow of the tide, the elongation and contraction of shadows in the early morning and at sunset, all unfold as part of this evocative visual odyssey. Initially, Godman invites the reader to delve into the project's conception through a series of enigmatic preliminary landscape photographs, capturing the beach near his residence at that time. The first expedition in 1988 unfolds at Ocean View Beach looking out to Green Island, near Dunedin, New Zealand. The triangular silhouette of the island occupies the upper section of the image, mirroring the corner of the camera frame. Waves gently caress the shore, leaving behind glistening patches of wet sand that reflect the sun. Journey Two, in 1990, centers around the rock formations of the Rock and Pillar range, where Godman tracks the sun's movement in relation to a striking rock formation, occasionally concealed by ethereal fog. Subsequent solstice journeys take us to Akatore Creek in 1996, Moturata in 1999, Bull Creek in 2002, Wilsons Promontory in 2005, and finally St Andrews in 2008.

The project moves beyond the traditional photograph as a single frame, and instead, photographs of a particular scene are taken in a landscape format and then the same scene is captured again in a portrait format. The two images are printed twice, and the resulting four images are assembled as an intriguing mandala. While there are artists who have utilized this technique via Photoshop in recent times, very few artists used the concept in the 1980s, when analogue photography required film, darkrooms, and specific skills. Rotax project 1983 - 2023 presents a full suite of images in both landscape and portrait formats. Its monochromatic photographs are bold and graphic, maintaining a delicate balance of gravity and weightlessness, and are infused with a gestalt aesthetic that fuses multiple images into a single entity to offer a new insight of the landscape we live in.

Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux. https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader Artist Lloyd Godman lived in the same house at Brighton Dunedin New Zealand for nearly 30 years, but it was only during the summer of 2002-3, that he discovered a series of old photographic negatives on the ground in the cellar left by a previous owner. The silver gelatin images that might hold a reference to past lives and events had however decayed and been replaced largely by dust and dirt. At first, they appeared to have no aesthetic or cultural value. To a photographer, dust and dirt are a nuisance that degrades the image and needs to be avoided; but all that was left was dust. The silver image that had been formed by the action of light had been replaced by dust. However, as a photographer, that he discovered a series of old negatives on the ground in the dark cellar left by a previous owner seemed to hold significance. So Godman took the fragmented negatives and treated them as photographic artefacts and printed the abstract patterns formed by the dust as one would for a normal black and white photographic negative. The negatives were placed in a large format enlarger that allowed a generous black boarder to be created around the negative. The visual results are an enigmatic series of photographic prints that seem part photograph, part photogram or Clich'e verre. Rich patterns and intricate textures created by the process of decay in nature during the passing of time are given a new life and obscure meanings that only each viewer can invent are suggested in the gestalt. In placed reference appears of the frame lines. The project was symbolic of his marriage break up, move to Melbourne, where he now lives at the Bladessin Press, and his creative evolution to work with plants as an art medium where he has created xeric vertical gardens with Tillandsia plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a group of islands in the far south-west Pacific Ocean, New Zealand has a history that is steeped in the sea. Its people have encountered the sea in many different ways: along the coast, in port, on ships, beneath the waves, behind a camera, and in the realm of the imagination. While New Zealanders have continually altered their marine environments, the ocean, too, has influenced their lives. A multi-disciplinary work encompassing history, marine science, archaeology and visual culture, New Zealand and the Sea explores New Zealand’s varied relationship with the sea, challenging the conventional view that history unfolds on land. Leading and emerging scholars highlight the dynamic, ocean-centred history of these islands and their inhabitants, offering fascinating new perspectives on New Zealand’s pasts. ‘The ocean has profoundly shaped culture across this narrow archipelago . . . The meeting of land and sea is central in historical accounts of Polynesian discovery and colonisation; European exploratory voyaging; sealing, whaling and the littoral communities that supported these plural occupations; and the mass migrant passage from Britain.’ – Frances Steel

Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux. https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader In the mid 1990s, Lloyd Godman made the connection that the process of taking photographs with photographic film and growing plants was analogous - both use light and water - plants are in fact an abstract form of photography. In 1996 he began by growing simple images into the leaves of Bromeliad plants as a form of bio-imprinting, which in turn led to sophisticated interactive installations of tillandsia plants ( airplants ) in galleries and other spaces in New Zealand, Australia, and the USA. Rather than stay with passive mediums like photography, drawing and sculpture that he had worked with for decades, his concern for the environment moved him to work with a living medium that was environmentally active, and captured CO2. Working with plants as a living art medium informed him to conceive the planet as a huge photosensitive emulsion. The largest photosensitive emulsion we know of is the planet earth. As vegetation grows, dies back, changes colour with the seasons, the "photographic image" that is our planet alters. Increasingly human intervention plays a larger role in transforming the image of the globe we inhabit. Lloyd Godman ecological artist - 2006 Working with plants traces the development of this work, it is rich in ideas and well documented with images and offers an insight into how he evolved into a leader at integrating plants into architecture in a sustainable manner working with Tillandsias ( air plants ). Lloyd Godman's twin careers of serious and successful organic gardener and practicing artist of great creative energy converge in new and constantly surprising ways to make art about the ecological concerns that underly his gardening. Over almost three decades his art has widened out from relatively traditional landscape photography to include elements of performance, audience participation art and multimedia installation to explore the tensions between electronic consumer society and the ecosystem.

Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux. https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader. The project uses photographic images to explore the concept of object, land and archaeology where the intricate patterns of both photograph and photogram sit against a stark black background. In Adze to Coda, Lloyd Godman uses the photogram technique to explore concepts of the intersection of nature and culture. The works are photographically complex and challenging to create. Combining both photographs and photograms on the same sheet of photographic paper they demand high dark room skill and patience. Four separate exposures are needed to create each unique image, and each require a great deal of experimentation, failure but ultimately success. The culmination of the project presents a huge composite photogram of a waka (canoe). A large waka (Canoe) sculpture created by sculptor Jeff Thompson at the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Art Educators, (NZAAE) conference Auckland 2003, was used as an object for the [photogram. The large waka was laid on over 50 sheets of photo paper and participants of a photogram workshop helped process the sheets of paper. ..paradox is explored further in Adze to Coda: an archaeology of device ( 1993 2004). Photographic images from the “estate of Wilderness” - native bush at Piha, on the Auckland west coast, rock formations at port Pegasus on Stewart Island in the far south - are accompanied by shaped photograms. The shapes are of simple tools - Maori fishhooks, adze heads, patu, Pakeha hammers, saws, spanners, while contained within them are photograms of layers of old gears, broken blades, corroded screws - tools of the past, returning to nature through rust and rot, ‘an archaeology of implements that reference their own history’. The series ends with 1’s and 0’s instead of tools, for with the ‘soft tools’ of the computer age we are left with binary codes rather than physical remains, and the tactility of the object is denied.

Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux.https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader/ From 1989, Lloyd Godman explored the visual strategy of what he termed di/VISION, where two camera frames are shot of a scene, one frame above the other, but with elements repeating in the resulting composite diptych. It is a binocular photographic perspective where strong geometric elements sometimes align in a persuasive gestalt, yet at other times fracture in a disjunctive visual. The images evolved from a previous series di/VISION architecture that centres on the exterior of buildings. Godman sees them as his holiday snaps. “Often the images are taken when we are on holiday and yet my creative mid wants to explore the built environment.” But the photographs are more than snaps and it is obvious there is a refined visual mind at work. He explored this over several decades in landscapes of both the natural world and the built environment. Godman uses the technique with stealth to exploit the human desire to make sense of what we see - so while the eye sees two images, the mind wants to read a single image, there is a visual fusion of the two. In this series he confronts architectural interiors and offers new visions of internal architectural space. There is a play with the simplicity or complexity of geometry and decoration within. As the frames are shot with a wide- angle lens, a strange perspective ensues that often suggests the dimensions and geometry of a new space, an unreal space, where an Escher-like quality emerges. The di/VISION series of works centered around constructed spaces and architecture sits as a marker to the living work he is experimenting with - the integration of plants and architecture. Photographing architecture with a binocular view offers not only new ways of seeing existing structures but potential for how plants can inhabit these spaces.

Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux.https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader/ Lloyd Godman and Lawrence Jones were neighbors and friends who had lived for years at Brighton, New Zealand. Both lived very close to where James K Baxter had lived and were familiar with his work. Jones was writing a paper on Baxter and asked Godman to consider contributing some photographs of the places Baxter wrote about. During 1993 to 1994 Lawrence Jones and Lloyd Godman worked collaboratively on the Mythology of Place project. They retraced the words of one of New Zealand’s most acknowledged poets, James K Baxter, searching for artifacts ion the surrounding landscape that referenced real places of his mythology. Places where the youthful Baxter’s naked feet once trod, places that remained with him until the bare foot days before his death. This project was about the unearthing three different worlds of James K Baxter and though the critical text of Jones and the photographs of Godman, a poignant focus of Baxter’s work emerged. Finding the real locations that inspired him and capturing them on film. Alongside the poems of Baxter, the stunning black and white photographs offered their own mythology and symbols of place.

Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux.https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader/ In 1983, Lloyd Godman engaged in series of evocative photographs of the wild Clutha River which was about to be dammed and transformed into Lake Dunstan through hydro development in the ebook The Last Rivers Song. The Lake Fill Series marks the time a decade later, when the dam was complete, the flowing waters were stalled, and the lake began to fill. Godman engaged in two performance works and the ebook documents these. Lake Wanaka and Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown New Zealand feed the powerful rivers that flow to the new lake. Unlike most art performance works, the camera and process of taking photos was used not only as a means of documenting the performance, but as an integral part of the performance. Here the artist wired himself up to a motor drive camera in an underwater housing sitting resting in the rising water, and as part of the performance periodically touched two metal plats that fired the camera shutter. Brass metal artifacts constructed from found objects, and natural objects become part of the earth circuit the artist creates. He explores how, as humans we are part of this earth circuit. The sequence of photographs shows the rising water obliterating the vista of the landscape and lake. The last image in the sequence shows a blur of water that engulfs the scene and references a landscape lost to development. To augment this a series of earth circuit drawings and photographs of the brass artifacts are included.

Thorium Reader is the free EPUB reader of choice for Windows 10 and 11, MacOS and Linux.https://www.edrlab.org/software/thorium-reader/ In 1984 Lloyd Godman conceived the idea of take an expedition of artists to the remote Auckland Island 465 kilometres south of New Zealand, experience the wild environment, create a series of works that would tour New Zealand as a series of exhibitions. While these remote protected islands are most often the domain of scientists, Godman argued that artists are scientists, their research is on an aesthetic and conceptual level. Beset with many problems and political brick walls, the project took years to materialize but with perseverance in 1989, eleven artists visited the Islands in a ground-breaking and highly successful project titled Arts to the Subantarctic. (Including, Bill Hammond and Laurence Aberhart's). Works created by the 11 selected artists were curated into an exhibition that toured art galleries and museums throughout New Zealand for over 2 years. The project was also the first-time woman sailed on a New Zealand Naval vessel. Codes of Survival is Godman’s personal response and contribution to the project, and his first series of work with Photograms. He incorporated sophisticated combination black and white photograph photograms to create unique photographic works. The project cumulated with an accompanying installation with a sound scape by Peter Adams and a series of short stories that related to events on the Subantarctic Islands. It was a watershed event where Godman moved to camera-less photography with projects like Adze to Coda, Evidence from the Religion of Technology, Aporian Emulsions and acted as a catalyst for his interest in photosensitivity that led to his current living art works with plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Last Rivers Song, Lloyd Godman presents a stunning series of black and white photographs that show the raw, natural, beauty of Clutha River (which flows from Lake Wanka) and Kawarau River (which flows from Lake Wakatiku, Queenstown) before the water was stilled with the filling of Lake Dunstan at the completion of the hydro dam at Clyde in Central Otago, New Zealand. The hydro dam was planned to provide power to an aluminium smelter at Aromana which due to protests never eventuated. In an age where rivers are increasingly under threat from development, it offers an emblematic, evocative portrait of a wild, free-flowing river that has been lost to hydro development. The publication includes a detailed introduction to the conception of the project and the technical challenges of producing large mural photographs (which are gold toned from gold mined from the very river itself) and were first exhibited at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery. From photographic stop motion to time exposure the aura of the river is captured beyond human vision. Exhibited at the Marshall Seifert Gallery, to compliment the murals at the DPAG, was a series of smaller photographs, the Clutha Panels, which show the expansive mood of the river. The full suite of photographs is included in the book. Hyperlinks within the publication link to animated video using sequences of the photographs and an original soundscape composed by Trevor Coleman and Paul Hutchins to accompany the DPAG exhibition. "Water surges, sprays, foams, whirls, ripples and rests, framed by very black rock which, when devoid of detail cameos the textures of its movements. In other instances a chiaroscuro lighting throws forward rock surface, its water-worn texture combining in rhythmic counterpoint with the current. The mural works are more expressively extreme, and have a greater over-all movement, each work capturing a different mood, from candy-floss fibres of foam in mural five, to the bone-crushing torrents".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While art critics have often pitched drawing and photography as a dichotomy, Drawing from Nature fuses the two. The artist places photographs of city scenes on a sheet of black paper and then draws with pen and ink from the organic aspects of the photographs. Volcanic rock pitted with holes that form the corner of a gutter, water streaming down the gutter, plants, and limestone cliffs provide a starting point for the drawings which extend outwards and defy the rectangle of the photograph. The series points to the importance of nature in the concrete jungles that have become our cities. “This Lloyd Godman exhibition again shows that crisp, clear vision we have come to expect from his work, Auckland seen from the ground up as no Aucklander sees it. This is not so much a homage to the city as a delightful, quirky, outsider’s view. There is something at once amusing and provocative in this vision of our Queen city. This is not a glossy presentation of the “City of Sails” but rather a city in decay, or at least a place reminded of its eventual past. Detail and texture offer us visual questions which have become the trademark of Godman’s work. In this exhibition he complements the photographic/drawn questions with a catalogue that deepens and sustains this questioning. Catalogues can help or hinder the understanding of works. Some indeed render images the viewer judges clear, totally opaque! This catalogue reveals the artists intent, his philosophy and the links these have with the images presented. Here photographs no longer can be discussed as records of the past but, by combining the drawn image, they become prophecies received from the past. Godman presents to the spectator a vision of the moment and complements that instant of communication with deeper questions within the catalogue. Nature here is observed from an often-idiosyncratic angle, liberated from the confines of the rectangular format. Added to the photographic image is a drawn one, lovingly detailed and richly textured, emphasising Godman’s photographic trademark. What is clearly important are the questions we are confronted with”. Ken Laraman
