The self-portraits of Mia Berg are the essence of tranquility. The artist, devoid of all artificial matter, playfully shapes her body into harmony with the natural environment. The images, photographed in East Hampton, offer a pleasant respite from the city.
Henry Simonds presents piezo prints created from a trip to Musée Rodin (Paris). Simonds captured details of Rodin's sculptures with a handheld camera, set to a fast shutterspeed and a wide aperture, thus vanquishing the object's material elements. This method transforms Rodin's figures, highlighting their raw emotion.
The performance-based works of Meghann Snow are the result of ballet and figure skating movements. Snow dons handcrafted shoes comprised of bubble wrap and masking tape. Check out the link to get a taste of her unique artistic practice.
transFIGURE is on display until October 6, 2011.
