Judith Braun (USA) - Fingering (detail)
New York-based artist Judith Braun has been working on her simple but beautiful series “Fingerings”, an ongoing project in which she uses walls as canvases to explore liberating, improvised strokes with her bare hands. While Braun creates the amazing floral and cosmic patterns, she also freely expresses herself with gestures and movements recorded in carbon – without creating waste and excess.

Regarding Josh Wool Interview: Interesting Interview — However, this photo series was NOT shot on film… Infact, I’d be willing to bet a pack of Polaroid 669 that this series is digital with photoshop filters applied. Had the interviewer CHOSEN one of Wools’ film photographs or series it would’ve been a different matter. It's one thing to not know what you're talking about as an interviewer, it's another to pretend you do and look like a fool... Sincerely, A Film Photographer
We transfer Jacob’s response below:
“While I do have experience with film photography, my selections of Josh’s work were chosen regardless of their format. As I knew before going into the interview (as well as points Wool addressed in the interview), his background is in both film and digital media. He expounded generously on the importance of film in and outside of his work. Framing his work in my introduction supports that.
Your criticisms are shortsighted, and also undermine digital processes. Good work isn’t an effortless practice; it doesn’t matter if a photographer is in a darkroom or at a computer desk working on photos. To insinuate that Josh’s digital work is somehow less significant or less important says a lot about how narrow your scope is personally. A shame, but not really a problem until you start projecting that attitude onto others.
- Jacob van Loon, Fool”

Patricia March (Spain) - Lo sutil en lo invisible
Patricia March is a Spanish artist based in Valencia, for whom the time is something like water that erodes and destroys the form while new ones are building. Like the rain, time is cyclic. In March’s drawings, there is a double reading, one from left to right and the other from right to left. The characters seem dominated by water movement, while resurfacing. That’s how artist perceives the time, and she uses the paper polyester, which allows her to perform these washes and erosion.
