Specimens - the handiwork of time
December 1 - January 3
Deni Cary Phillips is a Columbia, Missouri based artist, primarily working in digital photography. This retrospective is a collection of work focused on natural and human-constructions, and the meanings woven into them by the viewers' perspective. If there is a central theme, it is the detail we often hurry past, brought up close. Each piece presented here has both an immediate nature and a fleeting nature.
Phillips’ calls this collection fine-art documentary, terminology describing photographs of objects and familiar places, highlighted by intentional composition and layering of light. Nature is the star of the show in most cases—the original artist—or the object’s natural companion.
Self-taught over decades of film photography, digital photography opened new doors to printing her work for shows in art galleries, juried competitions and exhibitions in Missouri.
