Erika Blumenfeld received the Guggenheim Fellowship Award in the Creative Arts in 2008.
Her work is photo-based. Blumenfeld exposes film or photographic paper to light in a hand-made camera that has a
specific aperature. Each piece, therefore, reflects the light at a specific time. The camera for each project is
maintained in one position and the changes in the image occur as the light (sun, moon, etc.) move across the sky
over a period of time. The light is also affected by atmospheric conditions, such as clouds, haze, etc. Blumenfeld
creates many pieces in the rural southwest in an attempt to capture light in pure/clear locations.
The Polar Project - Blumenfeld has initiated a large-scale installation project that will include real time installations
from the Arctic and Antarctic. (to be expanded)
