SUMMARY:Jill Enfield | Artist Talk on Glasshouse of New Americans (Online)
DESCRIPTION:The Griffin Museum is thrilled to welcome creative artist Jill
  Enfield's Glasshouse of New Americans to our grounds this summer. We
  are also pleased to present a special online conversation with the
  artist. 
 
 Join us online on September 5th at 6:30 PM for this engaging
  presentation. 
 
 Titled The New Americans\, this physical display explores heritage\,
  genealogy\, and homeland. Jill's personal connection to immigration\,
  her paternal relatives fleeing Frankfurt\, Germany\, in 1939\,
  inspired a project honoring immigrants' integral role in society and
  acknowledging the challenges they continue to face to this day. 
 
 Combining 19th-century wet collodion ambrotypes with digital scanning
  and 21st -century printing\, Enfield sought to merge traditional and
  digital photographic practices. The distressed exterior window frames
  forming the glasshouse were sourced from abandoned side roads\, flea
  markets\, and construction sights\, symbolizing the precarious nature
  of immigration that still exists today. 
 
 The wet collodion process references the technique used to document
  immigrants passing through Ellis Island in the 1800's. By blending
  historical and contemporary elements\, Enfield creates portraits
  reflecting both the historic technique and the present-day reality of
  immigration. 
 
 Photography\, reliant on the interplay of time and light\, becomes a
  narrative journey during the prolonged exposures required by the wet
  collodion process. The resulting stillness allows the viewer to step
  into the photographer's and the subjects' shared experience\,
  capturing the far-reaching heritage and stories encoded in each
  subject's eyes.
