Carla Breeze’s images, created from printed files, show matter as stretched and spread as in a preparation for histological testing: a transparent matter which light emphasises as colour and textures.

Since September 11th 2001, when she was not at home- a few steps away from WTC- with his husband Wayne, she devoted herself mainly to her artistic work.

She’s been always an attentive observer of American arts and crafts having a background  as a professional photographer based in New York.

In 1979 she graduated in Art History at UNM and from1984 to 1998, both in New York and Albuquerque, she worked as a phoptographer, a writer and  an artist exploring  the relationship between light and matter.

Carla Breeze costruisce immagini ottenute da stampe da file, presentando la materia stesa e spalmata, come nei vetrini istologici: una materia permeabile alla luce, che la attraversa, e la evidenzia presentandola come colore e textures.

Carla si dedica quasi esclusivamente al suo lavoro artistico da quando, la mattina dell’11 Settembre 2001 la coglie col marito Wayne, lontano casa che è a pochi passi dal WTC.

Da sempre attenta osservatrice delle american arts and crafts, con alle spalle, nella sua New York, una formazione giovanile di fotografa professionale, nel 1979 si laurea in Art History alla UNM.

Numerose pubblicazioni sull’American Art Deco, lectures e otto mostre, dal 1984 al 1998, fra NY e Albuquerque, presentano il suo lavoro diviso fra fotografia, saggistica e le prime prove artistiche basate sulla ricerca del rapporto tra luce e materia.
