Jeri Eisenberg

Overview

Jeri Eisenberg is a photo-based artist working with non-traditional and alternative techniques, living in upstate New York.  She represses traditional photography’s emphasis on the representational qualities of the medium and emphasizes instead the medium’s expressive nature.  Many of works are large-scale abstracted images of botanical subjects in soft focus printed on paper and infused with encaustic medium. She employs a strong sense of materiality and seductive surface in her work to evoke visceral connections.

 

“The images are segmented, printed on 3’ long panels of Japanese Kozo paper and infused with molten encaustic medium (a mixture of bees wax and tree resin). There is an internal luminance resulting from the use of the wax, and an appearance of fragility intrinsic to the use of the translucent paper (the waxed Kozo is actuality quite strong and resilient).” — Jeri Eisenberg
