About Ellen Carey:
Carey’s abstract and minimal photography purposely challenges our culturally and historically prescribed expectations around the photograph and its picture signs. Using only light, wherever and whatever it strikes. The work intentionally upends traditional methods of “rendering” a photographic image with unusual approaches and combinations. Employing high-impact pictures of her inventive techniques and innovative methods she uses the photogram method, made without a camera, it is created in the darkroom; in color, with no light (except upon exposure).
