In this NU 4-part series, curator Allison Railo takes us into the homes and studios of the artists featured in the alternative process photography exhibition, Image + Object. It virtually doesn’t get any better than this!

Meet cyanotype photographer Meghann Riepenhoff and learn more about her process and the new ways she is exploring her collaboration with the environment. We’ll also dive into the site-specific, 18 ft Tidal Chart V cyanotype that changes daily with the tides. It’s hard to explain. You’ll need to see it to believe it.

Riepenhoff’s pieces embody the concept of impermanence and become living, changing objects that continue to interact with the atmosphere in unpredictable ways —  perhaps changing colors, darkening or revealing details that were previously invisible, or shedding the debris it once held from the landscape in which it was created. 

Meghann Riepenhoff, originally from Atlanta, GA, is based in Bainbridge Island, WA and San Francisco, CA. She received a BFA in Photography from the University of Georgia, and an MFA from San Francisco Art Institute. Her work is now held in the collections of the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX , the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, IL, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others.  In 2018, Riepenhoff was named a Guggenheim Fellow.

This program has been made possible in part by a grant from the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
