A selection of photographic projects by Meike Bertrand-Paniza
Work:
Exhibited both individually and as compositions of multiple images combined, Meike's photographs mimic the sensory and visual cues that inform recollection; both that which is highly personal but also true to experience. Her photographs have been shown at the All Alaska Biennial in the Anchorage Museum in Alaska, Mt. Rokko's International Photography Festival in Kobe, Japan and at Photographic Center North-West's 20th Annual Exhibition, where the diptych Sparks was honored with the first place award.
All images are printed by the artist in limited editions of 15 with a total of 3 artist proofs. Prints and artist books are signed and numbered.
