Adam Katseff’s reductive photographs while minimalist in approach, on closer inspection present the viewer with rich and exceptional detail. His Rivers and Falls series feature iconic locations, which also captivated and inspired influential earlier artists. This is no coincidence, as Katseff conceptually set off to recapture these specific locations and in doing so recontextualize the landscape. Katseff remarks, “The subjects of my recent work are at the same time familiar and elusive. The outline of the image is easy to see, and as with memory our imagination must supply the rest.”

Her early experiments with photography lead her to alternative processes such as these unique cyanotype photograms.
