Riepenhoff earned her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and her BFA in Photography from the University of Georgia.Artist statement: Eluvium is a scientific term that describes residual deposits of soil, dust, and sand produced by the action of wind. Working in a pitch black room, I cast sand onto light sensitive paper. I spoke, sang, laughed, screamed, cried, and otherwise generated breath within immediate, almost touching, proximity to the paper. My actions moved the sand into formations. I exposed the paper to light and processed it in traditional photographic chemistry. The process speaks to the human condition of isolation: where ones voice seems to expel out into a void. I investigated the impact of sound—words—actions—breath. Sonic winds that fall upon deaf ears are instead transformed into motion and color compositions. The resulting images are like shifting landscapes of my mind, where configurations are born of thought and language put into action. |
