Silver gelatin photograph 16 x 20 inches framed Collection of Fred and Laura Ruth Bidwell Starting bid: $1,500 Estimated value: $3,000-$5,000 DoDo Jin Ming, a conceptual artist born in Beijing in 1955, finds inspiration in the chaos and majesty of nature, particularly the sea. Influenced by her upbringing during China's Cultural Revolution, she transitioned from teaching violin to photography in 1988. Jin Ming's images, captured along the coasts of Maine, Nova Scotia, and Hong Kong, resonate with literary and art historical echoes while evoking the raw, sublime power of the ocean. Using a technique reminiscent of Gustave LeGray, Jin Ming photographs surging water — sometimes at great personal risk — and then combines two negatives to intensify the imagery of her turbulent seascapes. In Free Element, Plate XII , this layering creates the impression of a boiling sea with steam rising from its surf. DoDo Jin Ming Free Element, Plate XII, 2001
