GINA
RYMARCSUK works in photography and electronic media. Her
research is deeply rooted in the study of optical mechanisms, the
physics of light and often immersed in the formulaic and procedural
study of the photographic process. She investigates the nature of
visual illusion, feats of architecture, avian anatomy, aircraft
structure and the organization, translation, preservation and degradation
of data. This work is a mapping system of travel, mechanism, infrastructure
and a hero, charted, examined and accounted for. It is an attempt
to locate the dislocated through a systemic process of analysis
and synthesis while navigating the space between analog and digital
technologies. She graduated with a BA from Columbia College Chicago
and an MFA from the University of Washington. She has shown her
work internationally including exhibitions in Chicago, Seattle,
Australia, Hungary, Italy and Scotland. She has been artist in residence
in numerous programs including Burren College of Art, Kala Art Institute,
Women’s Studio Workshop and Oregon College of Art and Craft.
