From the melancholic vistas of eighteenth-century printmaker Giovanni Piranesi to the haunting non-buildings of contemporary sculptor Rachel Whiteread\, ruins have frequently appeared as allegories for human instability\, loss\, and the inexorable passage of time. It doesn’t hurt that the subject also tends to offer up unexpected colors and textures\, as the operation of damage and decay reveals aspects of their makeup that are ordinarily hidden from view. \nIn the photographs of Lee Saloutos\, the visual and symbolic power of such places is further enhanced by the artist’s ability to foreground striking contrasts between the quality of light within a given space and what we know of its history. Saloutos conjures a remarkable and affecting composite portrait of the American nation in context\, and a panorama of a world that is always interlinked in time and space. In so doing\, Saloutos constructs ongoing\, open-ended visual narrative surrounding architecture\, society\, and the natural world.

They stare out at us impassively\, silently dwelling in their own consciousness. These monumental sculptural heads are joined by other artwork created in a more intimate scale: “Little Spirits” smaller sculptures of human and animal heads and “Crosses” which combine religious\, personal\, and social imagery. Since the 1990s\, public and private commissions brought Masters’ work to a wider audience. For over 30 years\, her work outside the studio has reflected her social consciousness and concerns for the environment\, and she has received national awards and recognition in these leadership roles.
