Irene Imfeld
My nature-based imagery draws on aesthetic traditions from realism to minimalism. Always grounded in common reality and composed in camera, the original photographs often abstract the ordinary through tonal alterations. Some subjects are more recognizable than others as the work has become more abstract over time.
The combination of digital technology and a longing for romanticism evokes the moment — and environment — in which we find ourselves. The work shows the paradox of this co-existence as seen within the fascinating place it occupies. My abstracting process causes a reduction of recognition but not of complexity.
