Since the early 1990s, Liz Deschenes (b. 1966, Boston)\u200b has made the medium of photography the subject of her work, exploring the meaning inherent in its materials. \u201cHer work is characterized not by a single technology, method, process or subject, but rather by a sustained engagement with the fundamental materials of photography (light, chemistry, and time) and the mechanics of viewing,\u201d writes Eva Respini. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early series such as Elevations, <\/em>Deschenes focused on the significance of color, using the dye transfer process to produce prints in shades of green and brown that reference the information encoded in topographical maps. In her Green Screen <\/em>series, <\/em>Deschenes took as her subject the brightly colored screens used in film and video production and special effects, making monochromatic photographs that call attention to a usually invisible technology, and blur the line between photograph and object. <\/p>\n\n\n
