§ About the Artist
Photographer — Brigham City, UT
"Photography for me is the ultimate artistic medium — a way of finding beauty in the overlooked, the local, the vernacular."
§ Biography
Born in 1980, Andy Duncan's artistic practice revolves around exploring and finding beauty in the often over-looked local and vernacular landscape near his home in northern Utah.
Process is a very important part of photography for him. The Lumen process is highly unpredictable. The carbon process is labor intensive and time consuming, but produces gorgeous bas-relief prints. Andy finds joy and satisfaction in these processes. In one, he can be exact and precise, while in another, there's more room for flexibility.
Photography for him is the ultimate artistic medium.

The Lumen and carbon processes are not merely techniques — they are ways of thinking. One embraces unpredictability, the other demands exacting patience. Together they define an approach to photography as something made slowly and with the hands.

For Andy, photography is the ultimate artistic medium — inclusive enough for both control and chance, precise enough for the exact, and flexible enough for the expressive. Outside of his family, it is where he finds the most joy.
