↓ Image: Glass Cities

Courtney Johnson portraits modern cities in all their luminous magnificence using a modified version of cliché-verre (a 19th century technique used by painters looking to transition into the new field of photography)…

Each piece is constructed in 9 parts; each part begins as a painting on glass which is then scanned as a negative and finally printed as a photographic image; the technique combines of both photography and painting.

Courtney’s work “discusses the unvoiced, disconnected triangles between nature, technology, and humans” by mixing updated techniques from past times for imagining the present and future. She’s now exhibiting at the JJ gallery in New York until April 3rd and also at the Armory Show.
