Earth Pattern Study IX 2001
In conjunction with the exhibit Currents, a group installation exploring the interception of the technological world and the human experience, Jennifer F. Schlesinger will be exhibiting her photographic prints entitled Earth Studies at the Center for Contemporary Arts, 1050 Old Pecos Trail, Santa Fe, New Mexico, opening Saturday July 27 from 5:00 – 7:30pm in the upstairs gallery and running through August 11, 2002.

Jennifer F. Schlesinger is intrigued by discussion surrounding new technological image-making advances and their place within the fine art arena. She finds this reminiscent of early discussions about photography in the 1800’s when the art world was critical and apprehensive about calling the then new medium an art. This question merges itself into the making of her artwork and results in an investigation into Earth Studies- abstract imagery evocative of nature landscapes, creating what the artist calls Earth Patterns. The photographer captures images on photographic film, scans the prints or negatives, then digitally manipulates them. She then completes the photographic process by printing her images with CSI Lightjet printers which use tri-colored laser beams to expose digital files onto photographic paper (Fuji Crystal Archive), resulting in a photographic C-Print.

Jennifer F. Schlesinger graduated from the College of Santa Fe with a BA in Photography and a minor in Journalism in 1998. She is a photographer working and living in Santa Fe, New Mexico as well as the Administrative Assistant for the Art and Science Laboratory. Jennifer’s portfolio consists of work done for various organizations in Santa Fe, New Mexico, such as SITE Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Concert Association as well as for various artists, businesses, magazines and publications throughout the United States and abroad. She is also a contract Outreach Artist Educator for Warehouse 21, Girls Inc., SITE Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Children’s Museum. Her fine art photography has shifted from documentary to digital within the past two years. She has exhibited her work throughout New Mexico and several other venues in the United States.
