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 IV* distills the shadow to its faintest presence. The sublimation print leaves only a soft residue of tone across translucent polyester, creating an image that appears and dissolves with the light. The textile’s delicacy becomes the subject: a surface that carries the shadow without fixing it. IV is the quietest, most reduced work in the series, holding its image at the threshold of visibility.
