“Nielsen’s experiments are not haphazard but highly meticulous and procedural. Everything is preplanned and has to be done in a specific order. Nielsen uses handmade-made masks to help orient herself across her frame in the darkness. She places tabbed tape on the floor to remind herself of the best place to stand for each exposure. She rehearses each piece, before beginning to exposing the frame, as if preparing for a performance in the dark.”

- Liz Sales, guest writer for FOAM Magazine

From the artist:

“Technically: While my work is inherently photographic, I often describe my photograms as light paintings or light recordings. The images are created by exposing light directly onto the paper in several layers and steps, through filters and around objects. The final images reference only themselves and are unique.

Conceptually: Lately I’m interested in creating abstractions that have quantum characteristics, images that are two things at once: both a landscape and a piece of architecture, or both a portrait and a still life, or that can be read one way upon the first observation and a completely different way when seen for the second time.”
