Erin O'Keefe / How are things?

A collection of works by Erin O'Keefe, a photographer living in New York. The studio of the artist, who is both a photographer and an architect, is filled with geometric wooden shapes and boards. She creates abstract still lifes featuring optical effects by carving, painting, arranging, and finally photographing them. His career as an architect provided the basis for his artistic work and provided him with the opportunity to continue to address the issues and questions that photography addresses. By removing the glossy surfaces typically associated with the medium of printed photography, she foregrounds the painterly texture of her brushstrokes. The complex process cleverly confuses the viewer's visual experience. Her works are digitally post-processed, manipulated, or even appear as if they were actually created on a computer. Continuous experimentation and the exploration of juxtapositions of form and color through aesthetic techniques borrowed from model-making, architecture, painting and installation art are also hallmarks of her creative practice.
This work ``How are things?'' introduces her multilayered activities.
“Through my work, I ask questions about the nature of spatial perception, and the tools I use are rooted in the abstract and formal production language I developed as an architect.”_Erin O'Keefe
