'Existing at the intersection of photography and sculpture, my work investigates our wider human experience through light, perception and space. I fabricate reflective tools from bent metal and glass to make new photographic documents through the lumen print process, in which exposures of different light sources are registered on gelatin silver paper. Oscillating between two-dimensional images and three-dimensional objects, my compositions merge organic embodied forms with the natural world, anchoring my place within a universal experience. The photographic figures grow and diminish under sunlight and artificial sources, transforming my space into a recording studio dictated by my own conditions of time. Exploring themes of embodiment and cosmology, my practice integrates the sinuous movement and sensuous contours of light. Curvilinear waves glance off of elliptical arcs in forms which refer to both the otherworldly and the corporeal – astral movements and organic femme bodies; they embrace sensuality inspired by my personal embodiment practice, a intuitive-movement meditation which I use to enhance my senses and relationship with my physical body and surroundings. The color palette, compositions, and time exposures emerge from an intuitive desire to break away from photography's prevailing masculine characteristics: technicality, distance, and control. My work is simultaneously personal and universal, connecting the ever-changing state of light and time with the fluctuations of physical and emotional movement.' - Rachelle Bussières #RachelleBussieres #JohanssonProjects #lumenprints #womenartists #womensupportingwomen (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci-ikPlrmq0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dune (two circles and a disk, 1 hour 5 minutes) “... Driven by an alchemical process of allusion, the works appear in varying magnitudes of incandescence; together, the light formations incrementally pulsate, creating a palpable atmospheric field. The images do their work via un/settling shifts—quivers, trembles—that ever so softly nudge one beyond the ocular, toward a place where the psyche and senses meet...” 2021 Archival pigment print of scanned lumen by Rachelle Bussières Her work will be on show with Blaise Rosenthal and Andy Vogt in High Plains at Johansson Projects opening January 7 #johanssonprojects #rachellebussieres #lumenprints (at Johansson Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXruYs_vLbQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
