Mariah Robertson — 45
Mariah Robertson

45

Mariah Robertson's *45* is a visceral and dynamic work that showcases her experimental approach to photographic processes, yielding cascading waves of saturated color and abstract form. Robertson is known for pushing the boundaries of traditional darkroom techniques, allowing chemical reactions and chance to shape the final image. The result is a large-scale, seductive surface that feels simultaneously painterly and photographic, blurring the line between human intention and material unpredictability.
