Bloom a solo show by Karina Kraenzle
"In BLOOM, my goal was to build 'sculptures' that could be realized only in the act of making a photograph," she says. Using a scanner as a camera, repeated small manipulations of ordinary materials combined with a multitude of scans becomes the process whereby each sculpture is “built”.
The fascinating paradox of Karina's work is that neither photograph nor sculpture can exist, one without the other. The title BLOOM therefore refers to both the organic quality of the image as well as to its organic mode of production.
Kraenzle is an Ottawa multimedia artist who has exhibited her photographs across Canada and the U.S. She has received numerous awards and grants recognizing her work.
“The relationship between sculpture and photography has been an interest of mine for quite some time," she says. "This body of work is the culmination of considerable experimentation. Its aim, quite simply, is to give form and expression to the ephemeral nature of both material and image.”
