As it May Be is a solo exhibition with photographs from the New York-based artist Maura Sullivan (1971). Sullivan's photographs are mostly of people: portraits or pictures from children, all in black and white. Sullivan makes short movies in a single photograph. The pictures have meaning, words and tension in it, but without searching for a deeper meaning they still leave you with beautiful, well-styled photography. The images reveal enough to draw you in and withold enough to make you curious.
Sullivan prefers the hands-on approach of working in the darkroom, were she can draw with light. The silver gelatin prints are printed on fiber matte paper. Each of her prints has a painterly quality revealing subtle details of film grain as well as great depth and contrast. Her work is also part of the permanent collection of The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston.
Maura Sullivan started her artistic career exploring writing and drawing and furthered her studies in photography at the International School of Photography in New York City. She is also a freelance art director for film and print. All of these elements combined create exciting unexpected compostions and results in wonderful pieces of art.
