Tracing the footprint of man over time, Bentley’s
work deals with sensibility, not concept – the
poetry of chance. Random brushings with a world
where he sees all things as equal, his photographs
elevate the mundane into the monumental. These
rare, handmade prints, shot in large format,
represent 10 years of research and development.
Bentley’s permanent pigment prints, a 19th-century
technique considered the aristocrat of
printmaking, stand at the pinnacle of photographic
printmaking.
