Wilda Gerideau-Squires’ extreme closeup
abstract photography pares the medium down
to its most elegant, elemental expression:
light on surfaces. By manipulating those
surfaces—folds of rich fabric, layers of
sheer textiles, hard-edged glass forms—she
creates endlessly inventive and un-
predictable images sporting bright color
and exquisite textures. As the play of
lines and shapes gives way to a hierarchy
of luminosity and color, her photographs
take on a dazzling array of hues and
intensities. From soft minimalism to brash
symphonies of light, she makes the medium
of photography a bewitching subject.
