Theresa Ganz S tches These works have one foot in 19 th century Roman cism, with an interest in the rela onship of the individual to the natural world, and the other in the 21 st when lived experience happens less and less in the physical body encountering the world. Tradi onal landscape tends to suggest the conquering vision of man over nature, or conversely nature’s awesome greatness and the smallness of man. This work seeks to undermine these disposi ons, offering instead a myopic and ambiguous vision. The viewer is never afforded enough distance to gaze out, but is confronted with a field of warped detail and impenetrable surfaces. S tches is an inves ga on of photography and materiality. Using digital s tching so ware and automa on, I have created both large‐scale s tched panoramas and smaller prints as a way to explore the possibili es of the essen al cons tuents of the photograph‐ the indexical (the photograph points to something in the real world) and the material (the image is made of something whether it is photosensi ve emulsion or pixels). I am shoo ng the photographs in ways that tax the so ware and introduce glitches in its ability to s tch. The large panoramas are printed on Tyvek, an industrial material used to wrap houses, and pinned directly to the wall. O en, I hand nt the smaller prints with watercolor. The processes of stretching, warping and s tching and the approximated, imagined colors used for n ng further a enuate the photograph’s already compromised rela onship to factual truth.
