Response
In this series I am responding to photographs both as representations and tangible objects. Through physically altering enlarged prints and then re-photographing the results, I create works that oscillate between image and object, photography and sculpture, landscape and still life. While they may appear illusory, the resulting pictures are documents of actual events and are thus as authentic as the original representational images contained within.

Artist Laura Plageman lives and works in Oakland, CA. She earned a BA at Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT) and an MFA from the California College of the Arts (San Francisco, CA). She is best known for her studio practice of creatively re-working her photographs of landscapes and abstractions, exploring the power and emotion of the photograph as both medium and message. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and institutions across the United States and internationally, including recent exhibitions with Lightfield Arts in NY and the Houston Center for Photography in Houston. Laura will be included in the upcoming exhibition, The Art of Trees, at the Gund Gallery of Kenyon College in Ohio in January, 2021.
