In Julie Hamel’s Altered Negative 1 & 2 (Oak), we are presented with two views of a scene, areas hidden and revealed. Dialogues open up between the two prints, two image objects, two negatives. The work asks where does the photographer’s studio end and nature begin? What is the space between memory and experience? Analog techniques and abstracted forms animate scenes of nature and domestic interiors, creating images that walk the line between the foreign and familiar.
