And Now I See, a solo exhibition of digital images by Leigh Blanchard. This is Blanchard’s first solo show at the gallery and is a showcase of work that she has been developing since early 2017.
Blanchard has always been interested in nontraditional sources of visual inspiration and pattern creation. And Now I See is an exploration into alternative ways of creating digital imagery, specifically by examining technological flaws. The technology that so fascinates Blanchard is advanced to the point where artificial systems can recognize and generate visual motifs, but because the tools are still in flux, the end results are often distorted and skewed. Blanchard is intrigued by catching these imperfections—whether rendered organically or produced through her own manipulation of the process.
