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. 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 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. Her "An Orgy of Saccharine Beauty" series taps the garden for inspiration. Ferns and other vegetation, may interact, converse or just be neighborly within a liminal space that is a metaphor for the human condition and a story unfolding.
