Leigh Anne Langwell found inspiration for her
photograms from her employment as a medical photographer, after which she
delved into the exploration of molecular organisms as an artist. In order to
create these investigations of the living body, Langwell utilizes translucent,
household objects to construct three-dimensional sculptures, positions them on
photographic paper, and exposes them to light. Her photograms, while depicting
the dynamic relationship between microcosms, also create windows into the universe,
suggesting an interconnection between what is tangible and what is beyond the
scope of understanding.
