Artist Profile | Jesseca Ferguson

Panopticon Gallery is pleased to be representing the work of Jesseca Ferguson. Ferguson's pinhole photographs and collage work have been exhibited and collected throughout the US and Europe. In 1991, Ferguson began photographing with an old typewriter case that she had turned into a pinhole camera.

 

If the fact that she literally uses a light tight box with a hole in it as her camera does not impress you, her printing techniques surely will...they are all 19th century photographic processes. We are talking cyanotypes, van dyke prints, palladium, POP etc, etc...all of these processes require the artist to hand coat the paper to make it light sensitive.

Her still life images are thoroughly planned in her studio, right down to what page is open in a book and it's correlation with the rest of the objects in the frame. These ethereal images are comprised of layers that overlap one another, all having a sense of belonging and purpose. Ferguson's work has the capability of drawing you in and inviting you to stay awhile, investigating each and every element, even if some of them are skulls.
 

Ferguson's work brings us back to the romanticism of photography when time seemed to not exist and the world was full of discovery.
