About the Item
Rose, 2013
Chromogenic print, ed. 10, 12 x 12 inches image size, 16 x 20 inches paper size, 20 5/8 x 20 5/8 inches framed size.
Amy Blakemore’s new photographs depict a variety of scenes the artist observed while traveling through Mexico and her home of Houston, Texas. Ranging from landscapes to portraits to still lifes, the images document situations in which objects have been arranged or placed on display—sometimes carefully, sometimes haphazardly, and sometimes inadvertently. One photograph, for example, shows Retablos posted in a church in Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro, while another shows a potted plant left along a plaza wall. Accordingly, some of Blakemore’s subjects appear tended to, but others seem neglected or forgotten, or at least marked by indeterminate attention. Two other works reveal, respectively, wood boards obstructing—or protecting—paintings of saints, and a swimming pool abandoned mid-cleaning. Blakemore’s images capture moments of accumulated incident and uncertain intention, provoking questions of past decisions and future lives.
The unsettled relationship between accident and design in Blakemore’s images is accentuated by her use of idiosyncratic, low-tech, and often unpredictable cameras. The artist took the fifteen new images on view using a 35 mm square-format camera instead of her characteristic Diana cameras. Allowing a more tightly focused and even less self-conscious image, the camera is also not without quirks, which then require additional darkroom manipulation as Blakemore processes each print.
