"Dreaming in Colors borrowed from the Ocean”  - Seascape Photography by Jane Haslam

LAND Gallery is pleased to present a new showcase featuring the seascape photography of Gallery owner Jane Haslam.

Jane is originally from England which, being a small island nation, meant that all manner of coastlines were quickly and easily available to her lens. Unfortunately Pawling is a little less convenient and whilst the Connecticut or NYC shores are fairly close and the Hudson River is tidal, none have what Jane looks for when she needs a seascape fix, for that she has to plan a little more by going further afield. This showcase, therefore features recent images taken during Jane's ongoing exploration of two distinct New England coastlines - The beaches and dunes of Cape Cod in Massachusetts / The rocky and rugged shores of Acadia in Maine. Both regions feature the rhythm of the Atlantic Ocean, it's moods, sounds, salty air, light as Jane says "somehow it feels like I’m still connected to my roots as I watch waves that have travelled the 3500 miles from my old home to break along the shore of my new home".

Each photograph started out as a fairly typical walk with her camera, mainly at sunrise or sunset, some of the images are true to the original scene others are a little more experimental in an attempt to convey her mood. "Dune" has been chosen as the centerpiece of this show where Jane has taken a normal sunrise image taken one Spring morning on Nauset beach in Cape Cod and reimagined it into a simplified scene of tone and color that superbly compliments the serenity of the morning.
