PEGGY REEVES
www.linktr.ee/peggyreeves
The work often starts with a camera but may wind up as an image unrecognizable as a photograph. I've been walking the line between painting and photography for a while now. The materials associated with photography. (a light sensitive surface), are explored as if it were just discovered on the moon. I love the magic of photography and I am interested in making work that contains the power and sensations of my initial experience with it a time and place before digitial, where I now spend most of the winter months. . With less time in the darkroom, my studio is more expansive. By April, when the weather is more friendly to working outdoors, I move to my summer studio where I can safely use darkroom chemistry to make chemigrams in broad daylight.

Here's a section of the press release.
The chemigrams of Peggy Reeves, hybrids of chemistry-based photography and painting, inherently involve a process of gradual deterioration that leaves behind visual remnants of this creative history. Subsequent digital editing finalizes these landscapes, creating what Reeves considers “a metaphor for natural and man-made forces on the environment.” This body of work concerns itself with the physical and geographic challenges faced by refugees attempting to cross the United States’ southern border. In lieu of human figures, Reeves places her emphasis on the obstacles and barriers presented by the land and nature which inhibits these migrants’ safe crossing.
