Tenesh Webber

Tenesh Webber Through structural and chemical processes, my work explores photography, drawing, and sculpture, and where the three intersect. My aim is to create an abstract image, which questions how a photographic print might be viewed: as a photograph, a photogram or a drawing. I am interested in playing with perceptions of negative and positive space, movement or stasis in an image, and light as a trace of movement and space.

For many years, my work involved the photography of objects, and forms, which I created in the studio. The process involved developing ideas from sketches and models, and making the objects out of paper, plastics, and found objects. Ink drawing and marks were often added to the surface of the objects. I photographed the forms while they are falling, or in motion, utilizing various shutter speeds, and negative layering techniques. At other times the objects were photographed without movement, floating on a black ground.
