Description of Work
Linda Mathias utilizes traditional 35mm film and digital media. She manipulates approximately 10% of her images to create abstract shapes and forms. The majority of the body of her work is untouched and has not been manipulated. Her recent photographic exploits have focused on macro photography of plants and flowers. Photographs are printed on archival paper using Giclée process and ink. "Giclée," from the French word that means to spray, is a process of print-making that eliminates the use of screens or mechanical devices to avoid any visible dot screen pattern. Pioneered in the late 1970's, technology has now advanced significantly, and the current giclée process provides superior color accuracy than other methods of reproduction and creates images of incredible detail and vibrancy.
Giclée prints can be reproduced on a variety of surfaces, the most popular being archival paper and canvas and can be created to almost any size. Bloomscapes Photography giclées are printed on high quality archival paper.
