Text Entries
The artist made these collages in El Rito, New Mexico, while enrolled in a low-residency MFA program with Vermont College. She studied with photographers Holly Roberts and Siegfried Halus as well as multi-media artist and activist Sabra Moore. The suite of twelve collages were made early in the program of study when Tumer was working closely with Roberts. The photograph is a unique collage of gelatin silver prints with oil paint that are adhered with Yes Stikflat glue, a flexible, acid-free product used by bookbinders and other paper professionals. The prints were mounted and matted by Raymond Nelson in Corrales, New Mexico.
This tiny collage of photographs and paint is part of a suite of twelve images the artist made when she was studying for her master’s of fine arts degree. Though small in scale, each offers a little universe to visit. The shapes and tones hint at the natural world we know but their combinations are unfamiliar.
