GINGER VAN HOOK Artist Statement As an artist I seek to make that which in invisible,
visible. My photography and
sculpture is focused on revealing hidden elements beneath the surface of art
and science. This has led to an investigation of the human subconscious and its
association with lost or recovered memories. With a background in science my
life took a different course and evolved into a pursuit of the arts using
photography and sculpture as my medium to address the intersection between fact
and fiction. My current body of work has gone further in exploring our
environment and its connection and relationships to our minds and bodies.
Electromagnetic fields or EMF’s as they are called, exist in our environment
through the generation of energy that is harnessed through and across various
transmission vehicles. Examples
such as power lines, radio waves, microwaves, satellites, cell phones and home
electronics illustrate this. EMF’s are invisible and become visible in my work
using current technologies available to the public. These technologies help
reveal the visible interaction between our bodies and the invisible fields of
electricity and magnetism that must coexist in our environment to sustain us. |

Born in Argentina and raised in Los Angeles, California,
I have
encountered a rich cultural heritage of art from my grandparents and my parents
from four corners of the world, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. I have been working in photography for
twenty years. In the traditional darkroom photography medium, I work in 35 mm
and 4 x 5 formats. About 10 years ago, I also embraced the new digital medium.
As a photographer and writer I have exhibited photographs in genres ranging
from Still Life such as flowers and vegetables to landscapes and cityscapes of
Los Angeles and cities that I have traveled in. The online art magazines often called blogzines that
I created promote
both the visual fine arts and the literary arts of text, poetry, fiction,
print-media, and book making. I have also created several short films,
documentaries, music photo-journals and visual film poetry. My work has been
featured in exhibitions in Monrovia at the Focus One Gallery & The October
Fine Arts Festival, in the Inglewood Public Library in 2010 and the Inglewood
Open Studios in 2009 & 2010 and Gallery 825 in a collaborative exploration
of the intersection of art and science with Cal Tech in Pasadena- Professor
Shisuke Shimojo, SEE THRU Exhibition August 2010 and the upcoming continuing
exhibition at ICON in Nov 2010. Enter images and other content here |
