Haines Gallery: Exhibits Meghann Riepenhoff

Our Artist Digests focus on the work of a single artist, inviting you to explore their practice in depth through a carefully curated mix of content. This week, we spotlight Meghann Riepenhoff, who creates her vivid blue cyanotypes in collaboration with nature. Her work is currently on view in the Haines exhibition Elemental, and Ansel Adams in Our Time at the de Young Museum.

The artist coats sheets of paper with homemade emulsion and places them directly in the landscape—along the shore or in bodies of water, draped over branches or packed under snowfall. As they make contact with the photographic materials, the elements leave physical inscriptions on paper. Each work is wholly unique as a fingerprint. Riepenhoff is a recipient of the Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship and Fleishhacker Foundation Grant, and has exhibited at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Denver Art Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, New York Public Library, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others. She lives and works in Bainbridge Island, WA.

In Conversation

"In the action of making pictures, I'm looking for hope and resiliency within our complex problem." Watch Riepenhoff in conversation with curator Erin O'Toole at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The evening included a reading by Rebecca Solnit, who wrote the text for Ice, Riepenhoff's latest monograph, published by Radius Books.

"The wave, the flow, whatever you see on the paper is a very literal inscription from an element in the landscape. They are dancing with things we associate with abstraction, but are totally literal in both their making and what they present." Riepenhoff joins Tyler Green for on an episode of the Modern Art Notes podcast. #hainesartgallery#fienartmagazine#fneartfun
