Inspiring review of Mercy Calman’s artwork

Posted January 28th, 2010 by FrisbieSt.

We have a lot of great artists in the upcoming show and if we get a sec in between getting ready for the opening we’ll write more about them.

For now, check out this great post on Postdiluvian by Michael Singman-Aste about Mercy Calman. You’ll see her work at the show this weekend.

“Mercy and I got to talking about her process. Although she shoots digital and her photos have a distinctly tweaked appearance, there is no post-processing. Mercy creates all ”effects” under natural, ambient lighting at the time the photo is shot: She dips her finger in water to create a ripple. She holds up a brightly colored sheet to alter the hue.

Calman came upon this process by accident, noticing the unexpected color in her photographs of flowers and realizing that it had been influenced by the bright clothing she was wearing when she took the shot.”
