Cheryle St. Onge. NATURAL FINDINGS

10.06.2016 - 20.08.2016

Anzenberger Gallery, Wien / Österreich

In her photographs from 'Natural Findings' the American artist Cheryle St. Onge explores the curiosity and awe of our early grasp of nature; a paper wasp nest that appears dropped from Mars, the frog egg mass that on close inspection, possible through a photograph, becomes a gelatinous scoop of stars, a constellation of black dots, soon to be tadpoles. 'My pictures delve into that personal moment when our fascination, at what has been collected and contained in that jar, box, or bag is visualized on film....' says Cheryle. The photographs become both the shared means of a longer examination and the conduit of our own private recollection of nature. The collections and process are in the realm of both science and curiosity. These moments of photographs are made slowly and carefully with an 8x10 view camera. We present some of her notebooks as well as pigment prints of her photos in the area of the AnzenbergerGallery bookshop.
