Carol Bouyoucos' surrealistic compositions are inspired by botanical imagery and early American and European landscape painting, filtered through the lens of modern technology. The artist shoots her compositions with an iPhone and manipulates the images with various in-phone apps and photoshop. Strange Marsh, 2023, is a hauntingly elegant example of the artist's innovative photocollage technique.
Bouyoucos' practice has always been informed by technology. The artist embraces the aesthetic tension that digital mediums impose on photographic images as a tool to enhance and, conversely, as a catalyst to raise questions around perceptions of reality and preconceived notions about the photographic medium. The artist weaves historical allusions into her visual narratives to evoke feelings of nostalgia for a deeper societal connection with nature, whereas her implementation of digital platforms suggest shifting realities around our relationship to the environment in the 21st century.
