MEGHANN RIEPENHOFF – ICE

Posted on 2021-12-27

Haines Gallery proudly presents Meghann Riepenhoff: Ice, an exhibition of new and recent works created in winter landscapes across Colorado, Wisconsin, and the artist’s home state of Washington. This is Riepenhoff’s first solo exhibition with Haines Gallery.Meghann Riepenhoff (b. 1979, lives and works in Bainbridge Island, WA) creates her camera-less cyanotypes in collaboration with the elements, placing paper coated with homemade emulsion directly within the landscape. As they make contact with photographic materials, weather and water work together to produce lush, complex surfaces that invite us to consider the power and grace of the natural world. Ice features works from Riepenhoff’s latest series of the same title, which she began in 2015. Expanding on her earlier bodies of work-Littoral Drift and Ecotone-Riepenhoff creates her Ice cyanotypes in freezing waters, from the snow banks of Aspen to remote creeks in western Washington.
