Laura Reese: What is your concept and inspiration
for this piece in Momentum?
Anna Lee: Photography is my medium as an
artist, but I’m also a graphic designer, so these pieces seek to combine those
two elements. My pieces in Momentum this year are titled "Geometry 101”.
I’m currently very drawn to geometric shapes being used as an artistic
aesthetic, especially as a way to affect photographs. I like the combination of
the organic landscapes in the photos and the hard lines of the digital shapes.
It creates somewhat of a futurist sentiment for me.

AL: The photos were taken digitally
while on trips in other states and countries. At the time, I was not taking
them with an artistic end result in mind- just documenting my trips. However,
they ended up being what I needed to execute my vision when I imagined this
series. After toning the photos as I generally do, I overlaid the geometric
shapes using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. The compositions are printed on
wood to add another layer of blended texture.

The two pieces that will be in
Momentum do create a series that I hope to add more compositions to in the
future.
