Harvard University History - Prints

Featured In The Charles Hotel, Cambridge, MA

$ On Inquiry

One of two large analog collages Stephen Sheffield made for The Charles Hotel in Cambridge Massachusetts. (Circa 1998) The rough theme is a history of Harvard University and the base image is a group portrait of the staff of the Harvard Crimson newspaper. If you look closely you will see Theodore Roosevelt in the cross of 4 photographs towards the center of the piece. This piece is 120”x56” and comprised of 84 sheets of photographic paper that have been toned and distressed and mounted on board. I then placed off-register printed sheets of paper and transparent sheets of kodalith that had the same or contrasting images. These images were all hand printed in my darkroom and the largest images were exposed on the wall of my studio with the enlarger placed on its side and moved far back from the wall like a projector.

Stephen Sheffield, a native of the Boston area, is an alumnus of Cornell University in Ithaca NY, where he obtained a BFA in painting and mixed media. He went on to receive his MFA in photography and mixed media from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco CA, studying directly under and was assistant to Larry Sultan as well as studying under Jean Finley, Jim Goldberg and others.

Stephen’s large-scale collage style blends history with a modern collaborative spirit of the site and the intended audience. Pulling from researched images and photographs he himself captures, he blends the old and the new with black and white and simplified colors to create a celebration of place and community.

Stephen Sheffield has exhibited nationally for many years and has a number of permanent large-scale art commissions in Boston, Connecticut, Philadelphia, New York and Pittsburgh. He is adjunct faculty at the New Hampshire Institute of Art MFA Program, and he ran the advanced fine art black and white department at the New England School of Photography in Boston for 12 years.
