There isn't a medium or method of creation that artist Deanna Miesch has not tried working with, or is currently working with. The important thing for this artist is not so much the medium as it is the message. She regularly adapts her style or method of working to convey properly the thing or things she is trying to manifest. In her scultpural works, usually titled 'Emerging From Flatland' Miesch utilizes a type of figurine that is best described as a figurative inspiration from a novella by the English schoolmaster and mathmetician Edwin Abbott Abbott, first published in 1884. The story describes a two-dimensional world inhabited by geometric figures where women are line segments, while men are polygons with various numbers of sides. The narrator is a square, a member of the caste of gentlemen and professionals, who guides the readers through some of the implications of life in two dimensions. Using this novella as a starting point for her works, Miesch creates bronze figurines that represent an emerging physical being from a point in space. In her Photo Works, the artist utilizes film and does not practice any digital manipulation. Double (and the random triple) exposures are all accomplished in-camera. Currently, she uses a Hasselblad 500 C/M, and occasionally her iPhone with the Hipstamatic app and its double exposure feature. Other cameras in the past include the Mamiya C330, Yashica Mat 124, a Minolta X-370, an Olympus Stylus point, and shoot.
