Material Anyways in Single Surface with Eugenie Shinkle, Callum Beaney, Koji Kitagawa, and Eva L Jonas at Offshoot Gallery 5 - 27th June 2021
In these works, the artists explore the ways that photography transforms three-dimensional objects into shapes on a two-dimensional surface. The photographers in this exhibition have come together out of a shared interest in exploring the dialogue between two and three dimensions, and the materials and processes by which photographs are reproduced, transformed, and seen.
Photographs can be endlessly manipulated, repeated and shared, each time producing a variation of the same original. The four artists have taken this technical freedom as a starting point to experiment with their images, creating artworks that embrace the materials and processes used to create them.
Material Anyways explores a black backdrop from the studio and laid folded sheets of blank paper on it to produce an illusion of depth, like shapes floating in a void. These materials represent both ends of the production process: the paper on which she shoots her still-lifes, and the paper on which she prints the photographs
