PEGGY REEVES
Peggy Reeves works primarily with light sensitive and cameraless photographic processes. Mixing science and art opens the door to many experimental projects.
Her chemigrams are hybrids of chemistry-based photography and painting, The chemigram process involves a gradual deterioration of a resist such as varnish that leaves behind visual remnants of its creative history with chemistry. Subsequent digital editing finalizes these works, creating what Reeves considers “a metaphor for natural and man-made forces on the environment. "The Crossings" series of landscapes, pictured here, reference the physical and geographic challenges faced by refugees attempting to cross to the southern border of the US. In lieu of human figures, Reeves places her emphasis on the obstacles and barriers presented by the manmade and natural landscape which. in most instances, inhibits a safe crossing.
