Publisher's Description
2014 saw the artistic debut of Madge Cameron, an aged archivist at a private library in San Francisco. While digitizing the library’s archive, Cameron discovered that moving a photograph while it was being recorded separated the image into its color channels, creating a 3D effect. At first irritated by what she saw as failed work, Cameron came to embrace the “process of interruption,' as she puts it. “I came to see the process as a metaphor for what I do as an archivist; each piece becomes a visual cross-reference of itself.” The book Fixed presents Cameron’s strangely dimensional, prismatic works and includes 3D glasses for viewing. Madge Cameron is the alter ego of Bay Area artist Rachel Phillips.
