Eva Mueller is a Bavarian-born, American artist, who made New York her home in 1990. She is both a commercial photographer and a fine artist, whose work incorporates a variety of cultural influences from her native Germany, including Bauhaus and Modernism. Characterized by their minimalist composition, dark humor, muted but potent glamour and fantastical conceits, her photographs often have an unusual twist or striking detail that elicits a startled double-take. In the new series, BLACK FACE, Mueller reveals a deep fascination with the ways that gender, age and race converge and diverge and challenges the viewer to look more deeply and question their preconceptions. Mueller currently resides in Brooklyn, New York. BLACK FACE is an ongoing portrait series of people of all genders, races and ethnicities, whose faces are painted pure black. Black, because it takes us back to the beginning of our race, the human race, in Africa. Also, because it is the anti-color, it swallows all light, distractions vanish and only pure form remains. By zooming into each face, not showing hair or any other reference to cultural and racial heritage, the eyes become the only portal for the viewer.

Planet Tusail 1877, limited edition color photograph, signed and numbered Whisky is a time-honored drink, finely crafted and enjoyed for centuries. I feel fortunate that I found the Vanishing Spirits phenomenon. I am a fan of observing my world and the things that are happening around me; noticing the smaller details that may be ignored or overlooked. The idea for this project occurred while putting a used Scotch glass into the dishwasher. I noted a film on the bottom of a glass and when I inspected closer, I noted these fine, lacy lines filling the bottom. What I found through some experimentation is that these patterns and images that are seen can be created with the small amount of Single-Malt Scotch whisky left in a glass after most of it has been consumed. The alcohol dries and leaves the sediment in various patterns. It’s a little like snowflakes in that every time the Scotch dries, the glass yields slightly different patterns and results. Some of the images reference the celestial as if the image was taken of space; something that the Hubble telescope...
