The Intersect Aspen Art and Design Fair announced Wednesday that it had awarded its inaugual Artist Award to Meghann Riepenhoff.
Riepenhoff is known for her “camera-less photography” in which she uses cyanotype, one of the oldest photographic processes, to expose photographic paper to water, wind, and sediment. The results capture humans’ relationship with the environment and the elements.
In a press release, Intersect said that the fair decided to honor Riepenhoff due to “her innovative process of using natural elements, her ability to integrate organic materials, sustainable practices, and environmental themes into her work.”
