Curtains, Legs, and Covered Ladies.



Eva Stenram has an interesting photographic style. As I feel I can not describe her work nearly as well as she can, here is an excerpt form Stenram's artist statement describing her process and artistic themes.
Eva Stenram brings together analogical archival material and digital manipulation, creating 
scenarios where the uncanny takes centre stage. Stenram often uses found images, such as negatives, magazines and images from the Internet, as her source of inspiration and working material. These are scanned or downloaded to digital files that the artist manipulates, reinterpreting at each time the image anew. Her work questions our understanding of notions such as time and space, giving life to hybrid realms whose exact temporal and cultural coordinates are ambivalent and difficult to locate. Besides, by questioning the paradigms and hierarchical values of different photographic genres, the artist confers to found imagery altogether a new meaning.
 The following images by Stenram herself are from her 2012 series, "Drape."
