photo-eye Gallery New Prints from Artist Maggie Taylor! photo-eye Gallery photo-eye Gallery is pleased to share three new images by represented artist Maggie Taylor!

Maggie Taylor, Lucky, 2023. Archival Pigment Print. Edition of 15. $3,200 

photo-eye Gallery is pleased to share new work by represented artist Maggie Taylor!

With her signature surreal style and intricate details, Maggie Taylor is known for creating digital collages that transport viewers to a fantastical world full of strange creatures, dreamlike landscapes and unexpected juxtapositions.

One thing that sets Taylor's work apart is her progressive use of technology to enhance and transform her source materials. One particular tool Taylor has been experimenting with recently is Midjourney, a deep-learning platform specializing in image processing and manipulation. Earlier this year, Gallery Director Anne Kelly asked the artist to share her insights into how she incorporates AI into her creative process.  
"When I photograph in the real world I am reacting to things that I see (clouds, art, textures, objects) and collect them with my cell phone camera. Using Midjourney I feel like a set designer or a film director coming up with a concept and trying to articulate it in such a way that it comes to fruition. Then, if I like something that is generated, I collect it – downloading it to a folder on my computer instead of clicking the shutter on my camera... most of the AI elements I have put into my work are either portions of backgrounds or smaller items within the overall image."

photo-eye Gallery Amanda Marchand: Photographer's Showcase + Conversation photo-eye Gallery
photo-eye is excited to welcome Amanda Marchand to the Photographer's Showcase and feature her brilliant series The World is Astonishing with You in it: A 21st Century Field Guide to the Birds, Ferns and Wildflowers.

Northern Goshhawk (Child) (1st generation) (Illford MG V RC deluxe), 2020, unique archival pigment print collage, 22" x 16.5", edition of 3, price upon request

photo-eye is excited to welcome Amanda Marchand to the Photographer's Showcase and feature her brilliant series The World is Astonishing with You in it: A 21st Century Field Guide to the Birds, Ferns and Wildflowers.
 
In this body of work, Marchand examines the shifting environment through the impermanence of the cameraless lumen process. The suggestive photograms are made using vintage field guides from her library, and each references an endangered species described in the guides. 
 
Recently, as part of our video series photo-eye Conversations, Gallery Director Anne Kelly interviewed Amanda Marchand. They discussed her photographic practice, the process of creating The World is Astonishing with You in it, and other bodies of work, like The Lumen Circle Project. Watch this enlightening conversation below or on Vimeo.
 
 
 
"These are lumen prints from a larger, ongoing series Lumen Notebook. In these sun-prints, I explore ideas about our changing environment through the temporality of photography’s lumen process. These images are all made with expired and current black & white photo papers. This work employs three field guides — North American birds, ferns and wildflowers. I mark/expose the photographic paper, making one mark per quadrant or half, with an edge of the respective Field Guide book. Each photograph references an endangered or disappearing species (bird, fern, wildflower).

I have been making the work in nature, at different residencies, and my family's Canadian cabin, where the birds and ferns and wildflowers abound. This is a personal meditation — as each paper shifts color, slowly or quickly, in the variegated light of the sun."
— Amanda Marchand

The Lumen Circle Project - Work Statement

2017-2020: The Lumen Circle Project comprises an ongoing series of collaborative sun prints, made as a response to turbulent times. I invite collaborators to mark our time together on the planet, as we sit in silent meditation. We sit on photo-sensitive paper and for the duration of the sitting, the sunlight marks the paper leaving a lighter imprint where there is a human form.

These large-scale images are titled "Lumen" prints, taken from lumen printing, the art of making simple images with the sun and photo paper. Everyone who participates signs the work and is gifted a small print.

The first Lumen Circle took place on February 4, 2017, in San Francisco. The second Lumen Circle took place March 16, 2017, on Manasota Key, Florida. The third Lumen Circle took place July 2019, in Seoul, Korea.

photo-eye Gallery From the Flat Files: Cameraless Photography photo-eye Gallery
While a photograph, analog or digital, can be reproduced indefinitely, cameraless photographs are typically one-of-a-kind pieces. This week we explore our favorite cameraless images from our flat files and share them here.

Michael Jackson, Mrs. S, luminogram, 20 x 16 inches, unique, $4000

 
While a photograph, analog or digital, can be reproduced indefinitely, cameraless photographs are typically one-of-a-kind pieces.

These unique images, which do away with the mediation of a camera or a lens, include photograms, photogenic drawings, cyanotypes, luminograms, and chemigrams. All terms that designate the various cameraless processes of those artists who choose to use the primary elements of photography — light, paper, and chemicals — as both their tools and subjects to create the image.

This week we explore our favorite cameraless images from our flat files and share them here. Take a look below.
