I love the way the technique Salomon uses works well with her subjects. She turns her work into something small and delicate. Her work has a very illustrated feel to it due to the contrast and painterly feel that her techniques use. Like my work, most of her environment are in nature but are more of a documentation of it, it is more of an interaction.
Bio:
Salomon was born in Brooklyn, New York and attended Kenyon College for her BA. She has been in many solo and group shows in the Richmond area and also has work that is part of the permanent collection for Capital One. She also received a VMFA fellowship in 2000.
Quotes:
"Alyssa C. Salomon is a photographer and sculptor who explores the use of photographs as objects through which we narrate our everyday lives."-Newdags (review link)
" She came to daguerreotype making in 2000 in her quest for the ultimate photographic object. Daguerreotypes are physical: you hold the weighty thing in your hand. Daguerreotypes are precious: made with pure silver, sheets of copper, and gold chemistry. " -NewDags
