Beth Galton, Photographer, New York

Description

This overhead still life composition by photographer and director Beth Galton captures raw materials and tools associated with indigo dyeing. Arranged neatly against a light neutral textured surface are four distinct objects: a weathered stone mortar holding dark blue pigment rocks and a small pestle, a dark ridged grading stick, a polished wooden weaving shuttle, and a ball of mottled deep blue and white yarn with an unspooled tail. The lighting is soft and diffuse, highlighting the natural textures of stone, wood, and dyed fiber. The minimalist arrangement reflects a tactile, artisanal process with a restrained palette centered around earthy tones and deep indigo.
