The Robert Koch Gallery is pleased to present Strata, the first solo exhibition at the gallery for French-Canadian artist Rachelle Bussières. Blurring the lines of photography, painting, and sculpture, Bussières employs experimental photographic processes and materials to fabricate abstract geomorphic images that explore time and the changing natural world. By investigating the transformation of photographic paper through layering materials in the darkroom, her creative process mimics the earth’s geological stratification. The result is is an imaginative dialog between topographical images of the natural world and photographic materials. Much like an action painting, the process ultimately defines the artwork.
