Artist Blog

Every week an artist whose single image was published by Der Greif is given a platform in which to blog about contemporary photography.

"Isabel sees the use of beauty as a means to temporarily deny the chaos and incompleteness of daily reality. At first glance her mixed media images convery a sense of serenity, inviting the viewer in. Once inside the calmness appears unbearable to her struggling subjects. Power and manipulation are constant themes in Amber's work, and play a big role in her latest Unraveled (2o12), in which she explore this on a sexual level. Creating the added layer of pigments is a way for Isabel  to focus. Hours and days are meditatively spent adding the thousands of dots, palpating her subconscious and giving form to the unspeakable."
