    • 'In the action of making pictures, I'm looking for hope and resiliency within our complex problem'

      "In the action of making pictures, I'm looking for hope and resiliency within our complex problem"

      Watch Meghann 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"

      Meghann Riepenhoff joins Tyler Green for on an episode of the Modern Art Notes podcast.

    "I started creating cyanotypes in the ocean, but my work has evolved to include all kinds of groundwater, waterfalls, precipitation, and ice. In my work, I physically engage with the environment, as elements from the landscape inscribe themselves into the photo-chemistry. I've often described the prints as fingerprints of a place and a moment. All of the details of place impact the details of the image. I want the work to serve as a point of connection, a starting place to think about how we relate to our environment.
     
    I'm completely in love with the unpredictability of working in the environment — when my process, the landscape, and the weather surprise me. That's the joy of collaborating with the environment — just embracing chance and wildness."

    This is What Time Looks Like was a project by Riepenhoff in collaboration with her husband, Jon Behar, developed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 23, 2020, when stay-at-home orders first went into effect in the artists’ home state of Washington, Riepenhoff and Behar have produced one new cyanotype daily, at the exact same location over 24 hours — a continuous record of the passage of time over the past 3 years. The artist concluded on May 11, 2023, when the Federal Public Health Emergency is set to expire. At that point, there will be over 1,100 elements to the work. The work draws its title from a six-word poem by the filmmaker Sylvia Sichel, published in the New York Times.
