Photography Since the Millennium Opening Reception Oct 16

‘In recent years, and with increasing speed, the art form of photography has expanded to include work that is no longer bound by the expectation to capture and depict reality. Guest curated by C.J. Pressma, this exhibit is filled with artwork by artists who use photography – and/or photographic elements – to express highly personal, creative visions.’  via Carnegie Center for Art & History website

Super excited to have work in the Photography Since the Millennium exhibition at the Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany!!  Thank you C.J. Pressma for thinking enough of my work to invite my participation!  In conjunction with the Louisville Photo Biennial, this exhibit will be on display from October 9th, 2015 through January 9th, 2016.  Join me at the opening reception on Friday October 16th from 6 -8pm.

The Carnegie Center for Art & History in New Albany is open from Tuesday through Saturday 10am-5:30pm.

 

Time Lapse Transfer

If we are Facebook or Instagram friends, you are probably aware of my current exploration of digital photographic transfer techniques reminiscent of old school alternative processes.  By printing onto specially coated transfer film, my images are released onto a variety of substrates with custom made transfer mediums.  This process reiterates the print making pleasures I experienced when creating photo emulsion transfers and lifts with Polaroid film.  At the same time, the superimposing of images to create a final piece emulates the multi-layered, 19th century photographic printing process of Gum Dichromates.  I find myself continually looking to the past to process the present.   Below is a time lapse video of a recent work of this kind in progress.

Days worth of progress, 14 separate image transfers onto purposefully distressed aluminum foil condensed into 44 seconds.   Working with DASS supersauce and transfer film.  See the final piece at the upcoming Photography Since the Millennium exhibition at the Carnegie Center for Art & History.  Exhibition dates are October 9th, 2015 through January 9th, 2016.  Show is curated by CJ Pressma.

Current image detail…’Bound’ is my working title. Digital Photo transfers, oil pastels and gel medium onto distressed aluminum foil. 32″ x 52″

And stay tuned for more…will be updating the site with new work very soon!!
