TATIANA JOHNSON

Works at the threshold of photography and textile, shaping soft image-objects that respond to light, space, and the quiet drift between presence and absence.

*Shadow Carrier III* focuses on the subtle disintegration of a cast shadow as it moves through layered textile. The sublimation print diffuses the shadow into soft gradients, creating an image that never fully settles. Stitching lightly gathers the veils, inviting the surface to shift with air and light. The work holds the shadow as both presence and fading, emphasizing the textile’s role as a soft, porous carrier of the photographic.
