| Physical Description: | Altered chromogenic print or two horses side by side the mane of a third horse is visible on the right edge. The edge of the print is wavy like torn paper. |
| Description: | Carolyn Krieg was born in 1953 in Vancouver, Washington. She holds a BA in French language and Linguistics from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and has continued her studies at Marylhurst College, Oregon; University of Washington, Seattle; American College, Paris; and Portland State University, Oregon. She lives in the Northwest.. The artist says, "My methods are a kind of metaphor for what my work is about... The transformation of a conventional chemical photographic image allows for fictional gain and generational loss, just like the formation of memories." The distinctive appearance of Krieg's chromogenic print owes to the process of creating them. The artist explains that the exact combination of steps varies from project to project, but in general begins with a photo from archive, scanned to make a digital file, output as a Polacolor print, separated to produce a positive transparency, then either painted or drawn upon before being printed on traditional chromogenic development paper with the help of a color enlarger. At each stage the original image is recognizable but progressively altered as original information is successively lost and procedural information gained. Here, the original horses take on an iconic or archetypical status, their surroundings no longer a specific place but a hazy atmosphere of artifacts and effects from each stage of the image's transformation. |
