About the Item
"Down the Rabbit Hole" is an Infrared silver gelatin photograph by Monterey, CA based artist Rachell Hester. This hand-printed photograph measures 13"w x 10"h. Rachell captured this surreal coastal landscape in Big Sur, CA. The sky and rocks are reflected in a calm, mirror-like pool of water that makes one question their perception.
To achieve infrared photography, Rachell uses a special filter on her camera in addition to infrared film. The filter allows her to capture wavelengths of infrared light invisible to the naked eye; resulting dreamlike textures, and a bright white sky within the composition.
" Down the Rabbit Hole" is offered in a custom contemporary black frame (wood) with an archival white mat and low-glare museum glass. The outside measurements are 21"w x 17"h.
About the Artist:
Rachell Hester is a painter and photographer based in Monterey, CA. The natural world is a pivotal force in her artwork. Rachell explores the wooded trails in Monterey County and the Big Sur coastline with her camera, often capturing vistas that are off-limits to most people. Using film photography and alternative processes such as solarization and infrared film, Rachell spends many hours in the darkroom controlling the development of a photograph. Through this intentional distortion, she creates haunting compositions depicting scenes and marine life abstractions that don’t naturally exist.
Rachell has a BA in Visual Art from CSU Monterey Bay and an MFA in Pictorial Art from San Jose State University. Her artwork has been exhibited in the CSUMB Chancellor’s Office and in a solo show at the Pacific Grove Art Center. She received two Weston Collective awards in the Roman Loranc Fine Art Photography category several years in a row. During her Master’s studies, she was awarded the 2022 Murphy and Cadogan Contemporary Art Scholarship at SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco. She was an Artist-in-Residence at the American Tin Cannery in Pacific Grove and was a recipient of the Local Emerging Artist Program (LEAP) Grant from the Arts Council for Monterey County.
