CLAIRE BLOOMFIELD: THE ALCHEMY OF PIXELS

Reset Room / 507 Hagan St. May 4, 2019 - May 11, 2019

Claire Bloomfield

Claire Bloomfield, a new media artist originally from Nashville, TN, and curator with Mineral House Media, uses alternative photography methods to create painterly, tantalizing works of art. She is interested in creating a more tactile way of viewing photography. Her process starts by using a scanner’s bed as a large format camera and canvas. On the glass, she paints personal dogmas with loose pigments and various materials, giving herself one rule: to combine one natural and one artificial material. She is interested in exploring the elements of water, air, metal, wood, and fire and finding various ways to pair them with artifice. She strives to create a balance between paradoxical natures, in order to produce a sense of allure entangled with the grotesque.
