Matt Saunders — Doorway #4
Matt Saunders

Doorway #4

2011

A hauntingly luminous image rendered in deep blacks and silvery grays, Doorway #4 evokes a threshold suspended between presence and absence. Matt Saunders employs his distinctive process of painting on film and printing photographically, resulting in a gelatin silver print that blurs the boundaries between painting and photography. The doorway emerges as both a physical passage and a psychological one, suffused with an atmospheric ambiguity that feels at once familiar and otherworldly.
