Boston Globe highlights the work of Steven Edson in Griffin Solstice Review:

Winchester, MA: Photography Review

By Mark Feeney Globe Staff, December 16, 2022

“Winter Solstice 2022,” the Griffin Museum of Photography’s members’ show, is really big. It has work from some 170 photographers. The show runs through Jan. 8, as do the three others currently at the Griffin.

The beauty of “Solstice” is the variety of “Solstice.” Well, that and the beauty of many of the individual images. There are some general observations that can be made, though. Color predominates, albeit there’s a fair amount of black-and-white. Steven Edson’s “NYC, NY” is a particularly vibrant example of the former.

Landscape and still life are the most popular genres, with few portraits. Representation is the rule, though a few exceptions flirt with abstraction. Or embrace geometry........................................

Two recently made photographs of mine were selected by juror, Sam Adams for the 22nd Annual Roddy Open Competition at the Concord Art Center. With over 700 entries, 109 were selected to be seen in the show and 1 of the 2 images were given a coveted Roddy Award. (1 of 7 given out). "This photograph turns the constantly moving ocean into a massive sculpture that appears caught in stasis. The wind gently carving ripples across its surface, perhaps it could even be sand on the beach or a field of grass," Sam Adams, Koch Curatorial Fellow, deCordova Museum.

Juror, Barbara Tannenbaum, Cleveland Museum of Art's Chair of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, and Curator of Photography has selected all 3-of my images submitted to the upcoming Juried Biennial Photography Show 2021.

Pleased to announce a 2 person photography show at Beacon Gallery. Perception Abstraction is a two-artist show featuring works by Boston-based photographers Steven Edson and Fern L. Nesson. This photography exhibition seeks to explore these two artists’ diverse methods of looking through the viewfinder and electing what to capture on film, and how both create abstract artwork from the real-world viewfinder. From the mundane to the sublime, Edson and Nesson train their lenses on subjects familiar to all yet capture them in a way that allows for a new perspective and appreciation; revealing the artistry and beauty that surrounds us every day.

Together, these two artists bring to life a unique perspective on the world, inviting the viewer to take a second look at the world and to see the ways in which photography can become abstract artwork. Nesson and Edson capture the elegance and beauty of the quotidian: both in what the naked eye and only the camera can see.
