Explosions Magnet

Sarah Anne Johnson (b. 1976)
Explosions, 2011

Johnson’s work explores ideas of utopia and contemporary communities outside the mainstream that gather for idealistic reasons. Her feelings and memories of experiences with these groups is expressed by augmenting the photograph. She recreates scenes as dioramas or enhances images with paint, glitter, ink, and Photoshop manipulations.
