Brushstrokes: the nature of color in Monet's garden 
Susan Rubin, Red Violet, 2017
"In 1890, Claude Monet designed his gardens in Giverny, the way he painted - defying all convention. Rather than the formal garden style of the era, each bloom was planted to represent a painted brushstroke, both evoking and inspiring the artist’s paintings. My photographs of Monet’s garden set the scene. Iconic structures are surrounded by unusual plant combinations that create shimmering, reflective layers of color. Working from my own observations, sketches, color studies and photographs gathered during a week in this remarkable garden in May of 2016, I break with convention and use colored pencils as paint, carefully mixing the complex hues of each bloom. Each drawing defines a single ‘brushstroke' in the wild Impressionist’s palette that is Monet’s garden." |
Barbara Carpenter, Untitled Abstract 4, 2017
"At best, the mirror presents us with a reversed view of ourselves (ergo a “mirror image”). The more distorted the glass, the more removed from reality, or the actual image, we are presented. I have always been fascinated with reflections that allow our imaginations to run wild or just to enjoy the image as a visual whole unrelated to the subject. All of these photographs were shot through glass bricks. Some were then further worked in photoshop, some not." |

Patricia Miller: Dream State "Originally trained as a printmaker (BFA, Ohio State University), I have been experimenting more recently with photography and photomontage, extracting components from my original photos, adding an occasional graphic element from my family archives or from the public domain, and using basic digital techniques to create fabrications that mimic the dream state."
