Kate Steciw Work from her oeuvre (and her Tumblr). “Photographically, and aesthetically, I am interested in making a photograph “other” letting it move beyond the 2D and exist in 3 and even 4D spaces or implied spaces but also juxtaposing the mundane or expected with the altered or intangible.” – Kate Steciw via P.S.1 via […]
