Emily Nathan traveled to Wilbur Hot Springs in California to capture the wedding of Eunice and Daniel for the Spring 2010 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. Eunice and Daniel’s wedding is the focal point of “The Color Issue” and Emily’s photo graces the cover. The bride took her inspiration from Tim Walker and the wedding features a parade of animal silhouette puppets, a Vaudeville-stage altar, and flea market and vintage finds.

Curator Carol McCusker had a vision, put out a call for entry, and one thousand submissions flooded in from 200 artists. McCusker narrowed it down to forty five photographs that now form “New Directions 2010,” showing currently at Wall Space Gallery. Emily Nathan’s “Green Sea” epitomizes the premise of the “down and out” motif of the show.
“Down and out” refers to the point of view of looking down from a high vantage point and out to a vanishing horizon that Albert Boime called a “Magisterial Gaze.” Ms. McCusker hoped that “the photographs would show a variety of ways that ‘down’ and ‘out’ can be imaged; and the emotional liberation such points-of-view can have on our often confined and overly responsible psyches.”
