About Maggie’s Work –

Working mainly as an analog-based photographer, Maggie Preston has traditionally employed the fundamental material aspects of the black & white wet-darkroom to both produce her work and to provide the base for her subject matter.

While utilizing foundational photographic elements such as film, light, gelatin-silver paper, photographic chemistry, and more recently, aspects of digital capture & output, Preston explores the ever-unfixed state of the medium as well as the complexities of its representational values, materiality and social reception.
