On the 13th, we have a new series from Aline, Shadows & Stains, hand painted silver prints with commentary filled with thoughts of longing, sadness as well as humor. In response to the often impersonal nature of digital photography, Smithson sets out to deconstruct images, overlap or cut negatives, add thoughts that never get said out loud, add text and texture through traditional methods in the darkroom, add washes of oil paint to the surface, and discard the idea of making the perfect print.
Aline will be on hand to discuss her craft, techniques and vision at June’s Art Walk, 6 June from 6-8pm.
