I chose a exhibition of photographs by Mariah Robertson. Her works are considered to be experimental dark room prints that are impossible to replicate. They are very rich and saturated in color and appear paint-like at times from her washes of chemicals. They balance between being representational and abstract with layers of quilt patterns, palm trees, city streets, cars, and nudes.
What drew me to the work was that it was obvious that it was more about the process than the image. You can see the layers-the guts of the process of making the image. Where as I feel I have a very calculated approach to putting together an image, Robertson is very care-free and experimental. She is not afraid to let it get messy.
The work looks interesting.This is an OK start, but it would be good to know more, what are their titles, sizes, how many pieces. What are they about, do they reference anything in life, in art, in film, in books, in the news, in the street, in nature????
