In our Potrero Hill space we are pleased to show new work by Los Angeles-based photographer Jennah Ward, cyanotypes from a series titled after the location of her LA studio on Pico Boulevard. Ward's art explores camera-less modes of photography, ways of drawing with light, and the impact that the final presentation of a print has on the original image. In the past she has worked with light boxes in darkrooms, transparent gel overlays and photographic manipulations both in and out of the darkroom. Her working method for this series is to coat paper with light sensitive emulsion—essentially the technology of old blueprints—and to expose these sheets in her studio, allowing the play of ambient sun through the windows to "draw" her imagery. She then mounts the print to beveled panels, imbuing her work with a heft somewhat at odds with the ethereal nature of their making. Ward achieves a remarkable range of hue and density within the constraints of her medium's characteristic blue and in the process wraps a body around the light that is both her tool and her motif. Ward received her MFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. A catalog accompanies the exhibition with an essay by Mario Cutajar.
