Kyle Meyer is a NYC/Hudson Valley photographic fiber-based artist whose installation will be exhibited at OMG later this month. His work has been shown in major cities across the world, including London, St. Petersburg, Boston, Memphis, and New York. From Meyer himself:
Over the past several years, my artistic foundation in photography has been plagued with a single question: how can a digital image serve any human connection when it is entirely produced – and ubiquitously reproduced – by mechanical means (camera, computer, printer). This has led to extensive research and apprenticeship with handicraft artisans, exploring the tactile potential of photography. Throughout each successive body of work I create, traces of the handmade are present, be it weaving, hand-dying, or layering – all which add a form of texture, dimension, and ultimately additional meaning to my work.
