Artists Describing Their Art:

Claudia Nierman - Some words about my work: The images I produce are deliberately enigmatic and multi-layered. They invite the viewer to engage in the process of storytelling whereby dreaming and living are woven together as a tapestry. I find the sources for my work in the urban environment: window displays, torn posters, graffiti, broken architecture. In short, the remains of man. These objects and situations are eventually transformed by rain, sun, reflections, and shadows, as well as additions made by the passerby. Shaped by the forces of chance, these ephemeral visions are captured on film (and now also in bits and bites) and used as raw material that merge one into another forming a new identity. The result? On one hand, a strange amalgam of my preoccupation with time and memory, and on the other, the way in which the deliberate manipulaton through photographic images can give us insight into our personal and collective struggles. Technical information: I usually work in three different formats: 25 cm x 30 cm and 32 cm x 45 cm printed on cibachrome paper; and a large format of 57 cm x 80 cm, digitilizing the final image and printing it on canvas. (Since this latter ...

Tatiana Parniakova - Cyanotype has been my creative destination for some time, and now I have arrived. My latest work has departed wholly from the confines of film and camera, and paints a broader, luxurious image in cyan blue and warm hues of archival white. I have carefully cultivated a unique niche in the rarefied Cyanotype medium, a mid-19th-century photographic discipline originally used for practical purposes such as proofing and blueprinting, but revisited periodically by photographic artists seeking an alternative to modern media. My new approach to the old process is original and innovative due to the unexpected reversed 'positive' tonality of the prints and their virtually limitless size. I wanted my cyanotype prints -detailed, delicate, and highly individual - to suffuse a sense of antiquity with a fresh, contemporary edge that is powerful and subtle. My work is decidedly feminine, yet forceful and unyielding as I explore the full bloom and withering of the natural cycles of life. I mix floral arrangements with other, coarser and more provocative elements such as snakeskin and fauna to compose symbolic and engaging oeuvres. Although the symbolism and content of my work expands well beyond localized representation, the unusual clarity of each highly detailed print ...

Hilary Murray Freir - I want my pieces to have a flow to them, a constant ebbing vibrancy within them, one that sucks the eye in and holds it there. I want the viewer to feel that spark of emotion when they look at the piece- that's why I try to put as much of my own emotion & energy into them - transfer my feelings into the brush strokes & colour. I used to shy away from colour, believing I could create a stronger emotion in the piece through my brushwork alone. I thought colour was an unnecessary distraction within a painting, now I embrace tonality - light and shade, colour and form, all the aspects of a great painting. Limiting the palette only limited me. There is no deliberate choice in the subjects I choose to paint, they simply are aspects of my life and particular moments that struck me as special not special in like a wedding, but in the perceived mundane, that's what interests me. Light is often a big factor, both artificial light and natural. How the inclusion of light can affect body, how it outlines a form and emotionally exerts itself within a piece. My current home also often appears...
