For Wendy Mukluk there is more than meets the eye and it is apparent in her digital photographs. “I’m basically a historian…I draw what I can’t photograph,” says Mukluk. She sees the artist role being similar to that of a shaman, as a vehicle by which things from other realms can surface for everyone’s benefit. It is in a very holistic sense that Mukluk tries to record “the wonders all around us,” focusing especially on those that exist in “ordinary” objects.
With a background in traditional photography, digital techniques, drawing, lithography, etching and painting Wendy is well qualified to, through painterly manipulations, impose her own sense of aesthetic and beauty onto her digital prints. |
