Mariah Robertson — 62
Mariah Robertson

62

Robertson's *62* is a striking example of her experimental approach to photography, in which she manipulates the photographic process itself to produce cascading, unpredictable results. Vivid, fluid streams of color surge across the image in organic formations, suggesting both the controlled hand of the artist and the chance outcomes of chemical reaction. The work challenges traditional notions of the photograph as a fixed representation, instead presenting it as a dynamic, almost living surface.
