In contrast to the personal quality of the portraits, the abstracted landscape photographs articulate space as a haze of blurred light and color. A marked departure from the Ohio-born artist’s previous work in landscape photography—including her studies of American cities and of lake ice-houses, which strongly defined a sense of specific place—the new series denies any recognition of location. Emerging from Opie's diverse practice, which is widely renowned for delving fearlessly into nuanced political and personal subject matter, this new body of work plays with legibility of imagery and authenticity in artistic representation from two distinct angles.
