Tenesh Webber

Tenesh Webber has, over the past 25 years, worked in either large-scale/mural-size prints; manipulated the photographs in the darkroom, or manipulated the negatives in the camera.

Webber studied with Canadian artists Ian Wallace and Eldon Garnet who were early innovators in experimental photography, in the 1970s, introducing large-scale and sequential imagery into their photography practice. She was inspired by these artists, to develop her own approach to working with the medium, leading to explorations in scale and alternative photographic processes, including her current work with photograms.

Her photography is also influenced and inspired by the work of a long history of photographers, painters, and sculptors working in abstraction.
These include Richard Serra's bold oil stick drawings, Barry Le Va's arrangements of geometric form, and Agnes Martin's delicate minimal process.
