Edge

Named the 2022 Photography Book of the Year at the annual ForeWord Review INDIES Awards for independent booksellers, EDGE is one of those rare books that come along that will change the way you see the world. For more than 30 years, David Ricci has turned his camera on the everyday world with a curiosity that is driven by finding those places, views, and situations that bring the edge of chaos into alignment with the edge of aesthetic brilliance and transcendent beauty, seeking and finding a different and enlightening visual conversation with our material culture.

David Ricci is a self-taught American photographer. He has produced several bodies of work that address human presence in deserted  environments and reveal an underlying order in chaotic landscapes. He often employs complex visual structures and repeating motifs that allow his large-scale prints to resonate with gesture, rhythm, and pattern. This work is featured in his monograph, EDGE, published in November 2022 by Fall Line Press.

Ricci was the recipient of the Annual Curator's Award from The Center for Photographic Arts and was longlisted for the Aesthetica Prize in the UK. He has received grants from LensWork Magazine, The Artists Resource Trust, and the Martha Porter Fund. His photographs have been exhibited and acquired by several museums including Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Fogg Museum at Harvard, Winnipeg Art Gallery, The Hyde Collection, Fleming Museum, DeCordova Museum, and Smith College Museum of Art among others. The artist's work has been featured in several publications including Lenscratch, Photomonitor, F-Stop, and Luminous Landscape.
