| Sara Cwynar, 'Accidental Archives', 2012. Cooper Cole Gallery, Toronto. |
Sara Cwynar (Vancouver, 1985) is a New York-based Graphic Designer and artist working in photography, book-making and digital media. She studied Graphic Design and Photography at York University and English at the University of British Columbia.
Having previously worked on the New York Times re-design she launched Accidental Archives, a personal project through which she ''... explores all the junk and souvenirs and photos we accumulate... also the collective body of photographs we see and understand in our culture.” Clearly influenced by the concept of Archiving within visual culture, she uses objects that she has been accumulating over the course of the past decade, she sorts them out by colour and photograph them as beautiful syntheses, producing thus, a series of somewhat eerie Still Lifes.
Cwynar's project is on show at the Cooper Cole Gallery in Toronto until the 18th of August, 2012. See more for this project here.
