Marky Kauffmann "Prayer Images"
Soho Photo Gallery
This event has ended.
Soho Photo presents October's guest artist, Marky Kauffmann, whose exhibition is entitled Prayer Images. Kauffmann explains, "I made the Prayer Images for loved ones who have been diagnosed with cancer. Although these are inkjet prints in their final form, I used many traditional materials such as silver gelatin paper, liquid emulsion, Kodak Opaque paint, potassium ferricyanide and toners. In some pieces, I have created a "tumor", a random shape painted with liquid emulsion. On or near the tumor I print a scene from the natural world, the place I go to pray for healing. The Asian letters reference my family's connection to Ikebana, an ancient Asian art form practiced by my grandmother, whose work inspired me to become a photographer. The digital process allows me to collage the elements together."
