hanging out at 49 geary (and after being a little disappointed by the selection of Avedon's images at Fraenkel), i had the nice surprise to discover Theresa Ganz's work. She recently graduated from SF Art Institute. The pieces on display at Steven Wolf are pretty large (52'' x 52") and made of hand-cut C-prints.
i was blown away by the composition and the delicate construction of all of the collages. the contrast between the abstraction of the whole piece and the concrete details of the actual photographs is amazing. she got inspired for that work by some of the greatest american poets and writers (Melville, Whitman). you can read more about it on her website. very, very inspiring work.
