Susan kae Grant
Shadow portraits are a collection of
images taken by Susan Grant in a way that resembles late 18th
century silhouette portraits. The photographer interviews the person and based
off their conversation, sets the mood for the photo. Grant creates a suggestive
surrounding of shadows from various objects and fabrics. All details have been
chosen carefully by Grant in order to evoke each individual’s personality. Her
prints are taken using a high-resolution digital back and completed by using
digital technologies to manipulate and print the portrait on 100% cotton rag.
Night Dreams is
a photographic and sound installation that examines the perceptual and
psychological aspects of the dream state. In this series, the artist’s main
goal was to inquire on the REM of sleep, dreams, memory and the unconscious
because it raised universal questions among the audience and creates an
unexplainable experience all humans share. The murals were printed on chiffon
fabric and had audio recordings of quiet whispered phrases.
