About the Item
Western Landscape 4, limited edition photograph, signed and numbered
In my art practice, I create imaginary landscapes and atmospheres through a mixed-media process based in photography. I work in various photographic processes to create the illusion of a layered and dimensional landscape using opaque stencils and cut paper to make multiple exposures on light sensitive paper. I have translated this process into different forms of photographic printmaking, from traditional black and white darkroom prints, to analog color printing, wet plate collodion, lumen and cyanotype. I get the most excited when learning and working towards a new way of making; teaching myself and researching how I might use my core materials with a new-to-me photographic process.
I’ve lived up and down the West Coast and am greatly influenced by the landscapes of the American West. Two years ago, my partner and I decided to make Oregon our home and I left the Bay Area after almost 20 years. Spending time in nature and paying attention to the seasons in Oregon is changing the way I make work and creating new pathways and ideas.
Made using the cyanotype process, this series is the first to be made in my Oregon studio. While aspects of the California Landscape remain, other elements are starting to take over, things like blackberry bushes, ferns, and evergreen trees. The images depict the infrastructure and amusements of modern culture set against otherwise remote locations. The darkness of the sky and the prevalence of stars allude to ancient skies before light pollution changed our everyday experience of the universe. The images act as a meditation on our connection to the story of humanity, as well as our place in the vast geologic history of the earth and the cosmos.

Vanessa Marsh
Vanessa Marsh is a photographer living and working in Oakland, CA. Marsh makes her images by first creating drawings on clear mylar. These drawings are then laid on top of light-sensitive paper in the darkroom and then the paper is exposed to light. For images with layered landscapes, multiple drawings are placed on the paper which is then exposed at intervals, and a drawing is removed at the end of each interval. The stars are created by exposing the paper to light through a mask with small holes poked into it. The darkroom aspect of the process creates a photogram negative, which she then scans and inverts into a positive image digitally. The final images are pigment prints on archival rag paper.
