Diane Meyer (BFA '99) is included in the George Eastman Musseum's current exhibition A Matter of Memory: Photography as Object in the Digital Age.
The show responds to the ubiquity of digital images and mobile devices, questioning the scarcity of physically printed prohotgraphs in today's image-saturated environment.
"In the midst of this change, many contemporary photographers are making work that addresses, either directly or obliquely, the potential consequences of the medium’s metamorphosis.," wrote curators at the Eastman Museum. "Some artists dig deep into photographic materials as though searching for the locus of memory, while others incorporate found snapshots into their work as virtual talismans of recollection. Both kinds of work highlight the presence of the photographic object and function as self-conscious meditations on photography’s ongoing reorganization of our mental and physical landscape."
Meyer's displayed work is part of her series Time Spent That Otherwise Might Be Forgotten. The project consists of archival images modified by the addition of cross-stich embroidery, which lends a pixelated effect to certain areas of the images.
The exhibition is on view at the George Eastman Museum in Rochester. NY through January 29
