Title

Stature #8

Description

During Valenzuela’s residency at Graphicstudio he wanted to investigate the process of photogravure. In the Stature series Valenzuela builds what he calls “Studio Constructions” or “performances for the camera.” He created these images by setting a stage of cast concrete and clay objects formed from discarded electronics packaging. He does not glue or fasten the objects together but relies on the balance of the precarious compositions and arranges them as an abstract scene captured in the camera frame. He felt the richness and tonal qualities of the photogravure would add another dimension to these images.
