Wendy Cooper
Savannah, GA
Wendy Cooper, a native of Athens, Georgia, moved to Savannah to continue her education in photography after a 10-year career at the Georgia Museum of Art. Cooper is a curator, artist and art historian. She received her Master of Fine Arts degree from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
She has had several exhibitions in Savannah, Athens, Georgia, and Long Island, NY, and she has most recently been published in Due South, a juried exhibition of photography by the Society of Photographic Education Southeast. Cooper’s image "The Voyeur" won third place in Image08, the contest hosted by the New York chapter of the American Society of Media Photographers.
Cooper shoots film with two medium-format cameras. To catch a moment, she also shoots digital, and combines both forms of photography in her work.
Mystery films, literature, classical art, religious iconography, Freudian and Jungian psychology, and everyday life, inspire and inform Wendy Cooper’s fine art photography.
The images in Cooper's series "In Between" celebrate quiet moments--pauses. Like the feeling of being in between a mental, physical or real world and that of a virtual, imaginary (or remembered) and dream world, these images are metaphors for the juncture, or the synapse, in between these two states of being. The representation of these opposites through the fleeting aspects of light and shadow are meant to express the feeling of being in between the polarities of life.
