Transposed
Our abstract works take on various altered and inverted expressions, where a new visual code is at play, combining photographic art and design elements in a process of image layering. Each piece in this series invites the viewer to engage in the act of meditative daydreaming aka pareidolia; the imagined perception of pattern and meaning where it does not seemingly exist — to be transported into worlds of their own creation within our work.

about the photographer
A change in perspective leads to a change in experience– known for their depth of concept and modern redefinition of fine art photography, Melissa Amber [b. 1983] + River Lee [b. 1989] examine contemporary art through abstraction & ideation. The women began their artistic collaboration known as SOTW in early 2015 while healing and overcoming life altering concussions together using the curative power of nature and art. Their subjects focus on self-portrait conceptual works, to pure creative abstractions of nature often with an ethereal feel. As a creative duo & family they offer a unique viewpoint and juxtaposed strength within their fine art. Often incorporating their backgrounds in design and love of black/white photography editors of Dodho Photography Magazine describe their works as having “Originality, Creativity, Execution Excellence and Global Impact.” Their original works have won them over 18 international photography honours/awards and are being shown and collected from North America to Europe.back to gallery
