DESCRIPTION:Photographed from the unique and dynamic vantage point of a tugboat’s 
 deck - Jan Tiura’s HULLS is an up-close character study of working 
 vessels from around the world by the first female tugboat captain in San 
 Francisco Bay history.\n\nDuring a career that has spanned 35 years as a US 
 Coast Guard-licensed tugboat captain, Tiura has driven every type of tug 
 from dinky single-screw tugs to towering pusher boats with enough 
 horsepower to tow Alcatraz off its moorings. \n\nFrom Tiura’s vantage 
 point on her tugboat’s deck, lines, shapes and colors take on a painterly 
 quality in her images. Through them, Tiura examines the intersection of 
 form, function and the fury of the sea.\n\n“Photographing from a working 
 tug has allowed me to explore my fascination with vessels, a fascination 
 which stems from a childhood spent living next to the sea and feeling its 
 pull,” says Tiura. “Although I have photographed hulls throughout my 
 maritime career, it was the advent of small, high-quality and 
 consumer-grade digital cameras that finally allowed me to capture these 
 images on the Bay while operating my tug. \n\nNow, for the first time, 
 these images are on display together as custom-printed photographs – 
 collaboratively prepared by Tiura and Seth Dickerman. Together, these two 
 artists transformed a series of low-resolution files into large-format 
 exhibition prints of the highest quality: a testament what one can create 
 using modern photographic technology.\n\nDickerman Prints Gallery will host 
 a public opening reception for HULLS on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 from 
 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. at 3180 17th Street, San Francisco. The exhibition will 
 be open on weekdays through December 11, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 
 p.m.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/10/17/18694004.php
