At Higher Pictures, “Sheila Pinkel: Early Works 1974–1977” brings together an early group of cyanotypes by Sheila Pinkel that lays the groundwork for her long-standing exploration of light, material processes, and image construction. Ranging from body-based experiments to abstract compositions and early computer-assisted works, these images treat exposure as a field of transformation, where forms dissolve, multiply, or leave behind only residual traces. Moving between analogue manipulation and emerging digital logics, Pinkel builds photographs that behave less like fixed representations than evolving systems, in which bodies, objects, and surfaces are continuously reconfigured through contact with light and process.
