In the photographs that comprise Traces, Montana’s Frontier Re-visited Richard Buswell brings together the elements of time, memory, Montana history and nature. More abstract than in previous series, this work takes a “micro” view at the inevitable march of time. Richard Buswell’s intimate, poetic approach of pulling images out of their original context offers a visual puzzle to solve.
Richard Buswell has been a fastidious collector of images since he dedicated himself to photography in the early1970s. He is a consummate printer who follows closely the exacting procedures first outlined by Ansel Adams in the1930s. Traces is a collaboration between the Holter Museum and Carroll College’s celebration of its centennial.
