Tracy Longley – Cook: Bearing Still
Tracy Longley –Cook is an educator and photographer. Her work has been exhibited
internationally and has been published in View Camera Magazine and Camera Arts.
Tracy works with an 8x10 view camera creating an unsettled environment or a situation
imitating a dream state or faint memory. Her scenes appear to alternate between the
real and imaginary. She explores various processes and integrates them into a working
method using layers of encaustic medium over her images to create a “skin” over the
surface. This entices the viewer to look through the membrane covering the physical
object and examine what exists beneath.

She has given lectures and workshops throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan and Europe. Her “Sleep” series has been reviewed several publications, Art in America, Paris Photo, Village Voice.
“Sleep Series”
is a series of intimate portraits taken in her studio of friends, acquaintances and loved ones as they sleep. Composed carefully France Scully Osterman is making everything from scratch. The negative is made just before exposure in the camera, then immediately developed. Sometimes they may turn over in the middle of an exposure, which, in this case, will take 45 seconds to several minutes. She will keep making negatives as long as they sleep. All prints from the Sleep series collection are 8 x10 waxed salt prints from collodion negatives.
“Bed Series”
is another series in continuation of sleep, this series focuses on the bed - removing the subject, now the viewer is invited to become the "sleeper".
These images are treated as landscapes and hung like Japanese scrolls without frames. Each panel is 5 ft high X 2 ft wide pigment print on Japanese rice paper from collodion negatives.
Her work is in the collections of The Museum of Fine Art in Houston, George Eastman House International Museum of Photography, Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Museum of Western Virginia in Roanoke Virginia, Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University in Ithaca New York as well as in private collections.
