Jess Holdengarde, 35mm negative hand processed by plant-based developer (made from heather) collected from Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides, 2024.

In a time marked by environmental, economic, and social crisis, Glimmer is a new body of work by lens-based artist Jess Holdengarde that confronts the paralysis that often is associated with disillusionment.

Holdengarde, through layered approaches, uses the camera, body, light, silver, and sound to explore how the intimacy of a practice can spark transition. With a desire to move beyond the inertia increasingly related to our current climate, Holdengarde uses the photographic image as an anchor; a silver thread of light offering hope in the face of chaos – leading us into spaces of personal refuge and magical realism.
