World Wide Web. The grainy, antique-like images speak of past longings and a subtle sense of the macabre. Inspired by the writings of Edgar Allen Poe, as well as references to witchcraft, photographer Anon Rosso’s submitted images from her Rosso Bella Project that speak of these influences. With three such photographs, Rosso has been juried into the Plates to Pixels Gallery exhibition, a project of the Pacific Northwest Center of Photography. She will be included in their October on-line exhibit based on the theme: All Hallows Eve, Dia De Los Muertos, Samhain, Dark Art, Edgar Allen Poe, and Hitchcock.
This is the Plates to Pixel Gallery’s first international juried exhibition. Two hundred entries were received and 34 artists from around the world were chosen to participate. This on-line gallery is dedicated to providing exhibition opportunities for both emerging and established photographers, as well as keeping the past in the present by also featuring historical photographer essays. It is a space that consists of traditional photographic processes, as well as archaic and digital ones as well.
For Rosso, the idea of creating imagery for the Plates to Pixel’s October exhibition was a natural. Rosso who is also her own model, chose to continue the “red” based imagery in her Rosso Bella – A Study in Red Project, but also added in a more story-like idea with the Plates to Pixel images.
“Fear is something we all have to deal with and October is a great month to explore this idea. To face my fears, I stepped inside of the fear itself and portrayed that idea,” Rosso says about her imagery. However, only slightly gruesome (one in particular) these are more towards the Victorian side of such imagery, striving for a vintage aesthetic that is haunting rather than scary.
The Plates to Pixel Gallery exhibit will be available for viewing in October. Rosso also plans to display all the submitted images on her art-a-day blog (http://rossobella.blogspot.com) and her web site http://www.rossobella.com. These images will be posted towards the end of October.
