• ECOLOGICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE | CLIMATE CHANGE: The Utah Review. "The spaciousness of the American West is prominent in several pieces. Edward Bateman presents pigment prints on rag paper from the Seeking Sublime series, featuring Yosemite National Park and Mount Watkins. Viewers will take note of the accompanying 3-D model, which the artist photographed to create the prints. The model, which incorporates the essential geographical details and data and was produced with a 3-D printer, is a fascinating bit. Thus, the printed images Bateman ends up with show the plastic filament strands as convincing depictions of the unique features of Yosemite. By acknowledging how travel plummeted particularly during the early phases of the pandemic, Bateman’s work is a masterful bit of creative genius, all being accomplished at home. The prints are so effective that they evoke a comparison to the same quality of print that was captured by a photographer of the late 19th century who would have been at Yosemite. These prints are as stunning as those Bateman presented at the 2018 faculty show, Reversing Photosynthesis, which were produced by placing decaying leaves in direct contact with light sensitive photographic paper and left in darkness for an extended period to document the change.", 09/10/2021
• ECOLOGICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE | CLIMATE CHANGE: BBC: Earth Photo 2021 winners announced. The BBC reported: “Edward Bateman's Yosemite's Half Dome in Winter won the Place category. Covid restrictions made travel to the national park impossible, so the photographer recreated this scene on his kitchen table with a 3D-printed landscape derived from geographical data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) - and a small fog machine.”, 08/10/2021 UNITED KINGDOM
