“Blackwood reveals that the real power of a landscape lies not in its fixed form but in the way it transforms with weather, light and time. She photographs not places but boundaries and thresholds — moments when the world reveals itself as an ever-changing membrane of color and energy.”
— Excerpt from Carolyn Marks Blackwood: On The Edge, in Musee Magazine by Ami Wei
Coaxing painterly expression from a documentary device, Blackwood’s photographs reframe segments of air, ice and water into vivid color fields, geometric abstractions and flattened motifs. By removing perspective and context, her unmodified images seize ephemeral moments within everyday occurrences and heighten them into foreign, unfamiliar pictures. A screenwriter and producer, Blackwood is a principal partner of Magnolia Mae Films. Among the films produced by Magnolia Mae are The Duchess (2008), The Invisible Woman (2013) and Philomena (2013).
