“Most photography represents the reflection of light back from an object’s surface,” explains Amanda Means.

Description

In her Water Glass series,Means photographs the light that passes through her subject: partially filled water glasses. To make these images, Means pointed a photographic enlarger at a large sheet of photographic paper tacked on the wall. She created a light-proof chamber with a powerful lamp at one end and the enlarger lens at the other and placed the water glass in it. This process yielded a large paper negative from which she makes prints.
