Heather Wetzel

Salvage, Gravity & Impractical Library

Saturday, October 03 - 10:00AM to 11:00AM
Medallion D

My work is grounded in contemplation of life in the 21st Century, and examines current social concerns, such as issues with the environment, and the role of both the book and the photograph as object and source of information and entertainment in today’s technology laden society.

All three bodies of work that will be presented, Salvage; Gravity; and Impractical Library, utilize a hybrid of processes, materials, and techniques while also exploring the image as object, as well as the object as image. How and why I go about integrating historic photographic processes ranging from wet-plate collodion to various printing out processes with digital methods and material exploration, as well as the various incarnations these ideas have undergone and how they continue to develop will be shared.
