Tenesh Webber’s work occupies a space between drawing, sculpture and photography in process, linear quality and composition. She creates photograms (camera-less, photographic prints), by making sculptural objects out of layers of woven paper, thread, and found objects, in the studio. These sculptural objects are then printed in a black and white darkroom, where she employs experimental photography techniques such as movement during the exposure time, and solarization, to create series of unique images. The small editions of digital prints, based on the unique images, allow Webber to create monumentally-scaled works, using her photogram imagery as a starting point.
Tenesh Webber is a Canadian abstract photographer whose work explores and challenges conventions of traditional black and white photography.She lives in Jersey City, New Jersey and works in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
Education
Webber studied at the Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, and at OCAD University, in Toronto, where she received an AOCA Degree.
Technique
Tenesh Webber has, over the past 25 years, worked in either large scale/mural size prints; manipulated the photographs in the darkroom, or manipulated the negatives in the camera.
Her current photography, which focuses on medium-scale photograms, continues her explorations of the medium. The prints are medium scale, 11"x11", or 20"x20"...
Webber's process begins with sketches, in which she develops the image ideas. She then creates two-dimensional objects out of sewing thread, or marker on plexiglass. She builds the images through layering, stretching and cutting the thread, and through repetitive line drawing onto plexiglass.
These "plates" are used to create cameraless photographic images.
Hand placement and loose threads offer an element of chance into the work, and each print within a series is unique.
The resulting abstract images create rhythmic, intuitive compositions and offer tension between the organic and rectilinear.They suggest macro and micro views of nature, or of the man-made.
Inspiration
Webber studied with Canadian artists Ian Wallace and Eldon Garnet who were early innovators in experimental photography, in the 1970's, introducing large-scale and sequential imagery into their photography practice. She was inspired by these artists, to develop her own approach to working with the medium, leading to explorations in scale and alternative photographic processes, including her current work with photograms.
Her photography is also influenced and inspired by the work of a long history of photographers, painters and sculptors working in abstraction.These include, Richard Serra's bold oil stick drawings, Barry Le Va's arrangements of geometric form, and Agnes Martin's delicate minimal process....
Her work falls within a tradition of "rayographs", or photograms, established by artists such as Man Ray, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, in the 1920's, artists whose work in photography was informed by their painting and sculptural practice.
Building on these artists work, Webber has developed a unique approach to the creation of her photograms, integrating elements of sculpture and drawing while also incorporating chance operations.
