About the Item

Jennifer McKinnon Richman is an Atlanta-based photographic artist using dumpster walls to explore the impact of human waste and consumption on the natural world.
Originally attracted to dumpster walls for their interesting compositions and unique combinations of soft and hard lines - Jennifer photographed the walls with the intention of creating abstract paintings using the weathered surfaces as inspiration. Over time she started to see storms, beaches, flowers, and other elements of nature created by natural and unnatural elements. At the same time, the amount of trash and waste found in and around these dumpsters prompted Jennifer to do more than just take abstract photographs of dumpster walls. Drawing on her background in decoupage and collage, Jennifer started experimenting with digital compositing.
Uncontained Consumption is a series of photographic images transforming dumpster walls into oceans as a commentary on the impact of human waste and consumption on our oceans.
Mimicking the process by which floating garbage patches and underwater landfills are formed, bits and pieces of photographs of dumpster walls are layered and pieced together using photoshop, transforming oceans into dumpsters, literally and figuratively. Her new series of digital photo composites explores the beauty of our oceans, while bringing to light how our consumption is polluting our oceans. Grease stains dissolve into beautiful ocean blue hues; grime found along the bottom of a dumpster is transformed into sandy shores; paint splatter is converted into white sea foam. Each piece in the series represents a common form of debris found during coastal cleanups including cigarette butts (Beach Bum), plastic water bottles (Drink), plastic utensils and cups (Seaside), single-use plastics (Ripples), take-out containers (Sand Dollars), bottlecaps (Whitecaps), and more.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, 80% of the marine debris found in the ocean is the direct result of “trash, packaging and waste improperly disposed of on land... washing into rivers, streams, lakes and creeks, and from there to the ocean. The remaining 20% is attributed to at-sea losses from ocean going vessels, from lost or abandoned fishing gear and from accidental or intentional dumping.” Jennifer’s work captures the beauty of our planet by using an unusual subject to raise awareness about the impact of human waste and consumption on our natural world.

Edition of 5 plus 2 artist's proofs (#2/5) This photograph belongs to Jun Ahn's series 'Invisible Scape', which was shot between 2010 and 2014. South Korean Jun Ahn came to study in the US, where she graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in art history in 2006, followed by two years of postgraduate study of photography at the Pratt Institute. While at the Pratt, she had her first work displayed as part of group gallery exhibitions, and began work on the "Self-Portrait" project, which to date is her most prominent series of photographs which she regards as “a performance without an audience”, an end of youth of sorts, and a coming to terms with the future. In 2009 and 2010 she was awarded the Dean’s Scholarship at New York’s Parsons The New School for Design, and in 2011 received both the Dean's and a departmental scholarship. During this time her work received its first major exhibitions, including a joint exhibition with Kazuna Taguchi at PS 122 in New York. Furthermore, Jun Ahn has been selected as one of BJP’s 20 Photographers To Watch in 2013. Parsons awarded her a Master of Fine Arts with honours in January 2012, after which she acquired a PhD in photography from Hongik University in Seoul...Category
