Anne Arden McDonald Artist Talk

Anne Arden McDonald was born in London, England and grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. From age 15 to 30 she made self portraits; building installations in the landscape or abandoned interiors and private performances for her camera in these spaces. In the past 10 years, she has had 30 solo exhibitions in 10 countries and has been published extensively, including a book which came out in 2004. Her recent large scale works are an exploration of chemical processes that abandon the camera and involve direct manipulation of photo paper. At times she uses her entire house as an enlarger for photographic development. Her work is in the collections of 6 major museums and she is represented by several galleries, including Marcello Marvelli in New York and Photo Eye in Santa Fe. www.anneardenmcdonald.com/
