About the Item
Medium: dye sublimation print on metal
Sherry Karver has been an artist since childhood, born and raised in Chicago, and attended kid's classes at the Art Institute of Chicago. Her undergraduate degree from Indiana University in Bloomington, IN is in sociology, although she always took art classes.
There she became hooked on ceramics, and after graduating had a pottery shop and studio in Chicago for four years. She continued to take classes in ceramics at the Art Institute, then left to get her M.F.A. degree in Ceramics from the Newcomb School of Art of Tulane University in New Orleans, LA.
She continued to create ceramic sculpture professionally and moved to California where she taught college level ceramics until this past year. Around 1996 Sherry’s work moved away from clay to photo-based mixed media painting, combining my photo images with oil paint, narrative text and resin surface on wood panels which she still does today.
Sherry is now doing more experimental photography like the work in this exhibition, where she is photographing images from my TV screen when they 'pixelate' due to uneven reception. They are printed as dye sublimation on metal.
Sherry’s work is in over 175 private, corporate, and museum collections, and is represented by Martha Schneider Gallery in Chicago, Cumberland Gallery in Nashville, and Susan Lanoue Gallery, Boston.
Sherry lives in Oakland, California with her husband Jerry Ratch.
STATEMENT
It seems that we are in a difficult period in our history, where things are disintegrating and falling apart, which is what my work reflects. At the same time I try to see the beauty and hopefulness in the uncertainty.
Embracing chance, serendipity and random occurrences as the basis of my current photography series, I am 'capturing' images off of a TV monitor. I intentionally wait and photograph when the screen becomes 'pixelated' and broken-up due to uneven reception.
The images become deconstructed, stretching the colors, lines, and shapes into a new format, from recognizable to totally abstract. The squares that arbitrarily appear on the image represent to me how our technological world interacts with, and effects people, and the environment. (These images are Not created manually in Photoshop or by any other computer program).
I see these photographs as 'found pictures' that I freeze at the right moment, with little manipulation other than cropping. This method of working is exciting because it is almost like magic, where I am surrendering control, allowing fortuitous happenings, and being open to the possibilities of the universe entering the picture. It is like the TV is 'channeling' images to me. These deconstructed photos have their own uniqueness, which could not happen using any other photographic technique.
They are professionally printed as dye sublimation on metal. This is a very archival method, allowing the metal to shine through the surface, adding another visual layer, and giving the photo an almost luminescent quality.
