Mackinac Island: Creations

by Joshua and Cynthia Ivey Abitz, 2002

36 elegant black and white images meditating on the beauty surrounding Mackinac Island.

Joshua and Cynthia collaborated with book printer Richard Hoekstra over the course of a year to produce this volume of 36 images. Hoekstra's painstaking attention to detail delivers warm duotones that reflect the richness and precision of the original Ivey Abitz silver gelatin prints. An introduction by the artists describes their creative process and sets a reverant tone for these fine photographs depicting the interaction of humans, animals, and nature on Mackinac Island. Joshua and Cynthia also explore the meaning of being art creators within the realm of the larger Creation. The book was published in conjunction with the opening of the Ivey Abitz Gallery on Mackinac Island in 2002. You can purchase original prints featured in the book here.
