Light Bulb 2, color photograph of an Edison bulb by Amanda Means
Light Bulb 2
2018
Signed, verso
Archival print mounted to museum board (Unique)
36.5 x 31.5 inches, mount
Known for her camera-less images, Means often uses a technique similar to the darkroom process which creates photograms, but is uniquely her own. She uses objects such as leaves, light bulbs, and water glasses, instead of photographic negatives, to produce her prints. For both her Leaves and Flowers series (both ongoing, begun in the 1990s) she places the botanical subject on a piece of glass in the head of the photographic enlarger. The enlarger light passes through the organic matter and onto the paper in a way that makes them seem to glow. Traditional photographic techniques rely on reflected light in both camera and darkroom, but her technique avoids light reflection altogether. The effect is that the prints seem to emanate their own light, aligning them with the light-emitting pigments of oil painting.[1] She used similar techniques for her subsequent Water Glass and Light Bulb series.[2] Scott Hall describes the effect of these techniques: "Her transformation of ordinary household objects into sublime Minimal art is not only evident in the bulb series, but also in the black and white prints of water glasses... Sweaty, chipped and scratched vessels monumentally fill the frame, revealing the beauty in the mundane.
