Flare

January 4 - February 14, 2021
“Flare” by Kimberly Schneider features a selection of 25 photograms that are part of a larger, photographic series initially started by the artist during the Quarantine of 2020.
Within the restricted space of her darkroom, Schneider has utilized what is at hand - such as wilted flowers, glitter, lace and moving water - ultimately rendering a countless array of mysterious silhouettes that appear to either float, glimmer, combust, or fade away.
Notions of disruption, decadence, flashbacks, and the ephemeral consistently rise and fall together throughout this body of work. Beginning and ending with two slideshows, “Flare” closely examines the intricate layers of mystery, depth and volume portrayed in each one of these compositions.
Popularized by Man Ray in the early 1920s, the photogram frees the photographer from both camera and object while the intersection of light, upon a sheet of photosensitized paper, is left to create the outline of items placed upon it.
