Graham’s digital assemblages ebb and flow on the fault line between fiction and reality. The nature of time is explored and documented in complex landscapes of urban blight and detrition. The images are so seamless and sublime that they take on a somewhat organic reflection of the tireless composition. Artifacts of war and industry lay weathered amongst bourgeoning flora and fauna; stripped bare of any meaning or function to pure form and color. Juxtapositions suggest beyond the pale renditions of natural history dioramas where time is suspended at the brink of epoch. The mies en scene of found images resonate though a silent orchestration of light and shadow. Void of any passage, these frozen constructions allow the viewer to formulate narrative based on their own personal relationships to the objects and space contained. 

Josh Graham is a visual artist and composer based out of Brooklyn. He is highly regarded as one of the early pioneers in today’s abrasive music community, being recognized widely for his involvement in the New York doom outfit,  A Storm of Light, and his visual contributions to the seminal post metal band, Neurosis. Graham’s desire to coalesce music and visuals into a cohesive experience has spawned countless monumental records and performances over the last decade. Grahams vast discography has long been imbued with an equally rich visual aesthetic, thus creating a uniquely recognizable catalogue of work. Graham began exhibiting his work in 2007, and has shown extensively throughout the united states, in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Recent shows include “Catalyst”at 5024SF (2008),“Voices in the Bardo” at Shadow Space Gallery (Philadelphia) 2010, and Scion’s “Installation 6” a traveling video exhibition in Los Angeles/ Austin/ Minneapolis/ Brooklyn/ Wichita 2010.
