RATTLESNAKE LAKE

20″x16″ platinotypes (platinum-palladium prints)

The human histories embedded in our landscapes are uneasy and unresolved. When I first went to it Rattlesnake Lake it smelled of summer and promised happy memories. On a winter day, my birthday, I return to the lake. It is January and the drizzle will not let up as the mist rolls in the growing dark. There is nothing left but a mud puddle and a hundred enormous stumps. Once an indigenous site, the area was deforested and a town built, which was later destroyed by flooding.

Today the lake is an overflow reservoir of drinking water for the city of Seattle. The boundary between land and lake blurs as the water rises and falls, both revealing and hiding its history. In Rattlesnake Lake an embodiment of spirit is imagined as a lone figure moving through a place of untold stories. A bucket of water is collected from the lake to rinse the photographic film. Dirt and leaves rub together and onto the film, leaving artifacts behind and tearing small pieces of silver away-a conversation between place and image.

The series is photographed with a field camera reminiscent of those used for 19th century surveys of the Western landscape by European settler colonialists, and printed as platinotypes, an alchemical mix of precious metals

hand-coated onto paper and exposed to ultraviolet light.

Tomiko Jones’ photography and multidisciplinary installations explore social, cultural and geopolitical transitions in the landscape, and considers the twin crises of too much and too little in the age of climate change. Her current research, These Grand Places, is a socially-engaged investigation of people and place on public land. Her recent project Hatsubon is a memorial exhibition in photography, video and sculpture.

She is the recipient of awards including the 2013 En Foco New Works Fellowship (New York), 4Culture and CityArtists (Seattle), and Pépinières Européennes pour Jeunes Artistes (France). Jones spent three months in residence at Museé Niépce in Chalon-Sur-Saône, France, and in Cassis, France for a project-specific Fellowship at The Camargo Foundation.

Currently Jones is an Assistant Professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison.She received her MFA in Photography with a Certificate in Museum Studies from the University of Arizona, Tucson.
