Scott Farrell
Dry Documentaries

July - August 2024

Dry Documentaries is a photographic body of work that depicts both familiar and imagined landscapes while simultaneously exploring organic, abstract art forms also encountered. The landscapes, seascapes, and abstract visions that make up this multi-part series are non-manipulated images captured as camera RAW files. Only minor contrast, color, and tonal balance adjustments have been applied to the digital negatives. It is of utmost importance that Farrell’s prints are actual and accurate representations of what he has framed through the viewfinder.

The images may initially seem to portray a scope that is vast and expansive when, in reality, they often times measure less than eight to twenty-four inches in length or height. Dimensional perspective simulates a viewpoint that is removed or at a significant distance from the scene when, in fact, separation between the subject and the camera lens is deceptively close and intimate. These vast landscapes, seemingly multi-dimensional, exist within small, planar areas.

After 22 years working in the media industry, Scott made the decision to follow a more personal, meaningful path by officially launching Scott Farrell Photography in March of 2012. His scope of work covers everything from landscapes, nature, and rural and urban scenes to architectural, abstract, and figurative photography.

Healthy Food Chain
Long Term Exhibit - Generously Donated by John & Patricia Kenney 2022

Steel sculptor Steve Swain is an accomplished artist, architectural designer, craftsman, and boat captain. He is responsible for creating several notable local restaurants and buildings. His last project before switching to art full-time was designing and overseeing construction of the restaurant Pearl in Wellfleet and the restoration of Duffy Gardinier’s Tug Boat shack, saving the last of old clam shacks from the wrecking ball and creating The Frying Pan Gallery on Wellfleet Harbor Pier where Steve designs and hand builds steely renditions of marine life. In the fall of 2019, a second Frying Pan Gallery was opened in Orleans.

In his secluded studio Steve seeks inspiration in nature and credits the great outdoors for his creativity and compositions. His custom marine installation at the Museum is an amazing design and work of art highlighting the ocean world of bait fish, bass, and great white sharks.
