Anamorphosis (2024) Original Mixed-media Sculpture by Tatiana Johnson

'Anamorphosis' originates from a fleeting reflection photographed during an exhibition. The source image captures shifting light across a suspended strip of aluminium, which is then translated through sublimation printing onto polyester.
During this transfer, the photographic image softens into a field of tonal shifts and subtle distortions. Stretched over a handmade wooden frame and surrounded by an open aluminium structure, the work brings image, surface, and support into direct relationship.

Rather than functioning as a conventional framed photograph, Anamorphosis explores the photograph as a material object. The aluminium structure remains visibly separate from the textile surface, creating a tension between containment and openness, while changes in light and viewing angle affect how the image is perceived.

The work reflects my ongoing interest in photographic materiality, perceptual instability, and the frame as both object and boundary.

Materials used:

Sublimation print on polyester, handmade wooden frame, aluminium perimeter structure.
