DescriptionVintage gelatin silver print. Signature on back of printGallery LabelGrant Mudford explores the urban landscape as a source of both psychological alienation and architectural fascination. Using an enlarger designed to render his images with near-microscopic detail, Mudford’s prints depict his subjects with high-key contrast. His considered compositions are formally meticulous and the prints are astringent in their clarity and emotional tenor.
