Project: Lumen
Description: Lumen is an ongoing experiment to create and test handmade, large-format cameras as a means to discover actions of light that go unseen by both human eyes and commercially available cameras. Each camera is unique, yielding unpredictable and unrepeatable results. McCarty’s exposures range from several seconds to several hours, at different times of day, as she tests the conditions of light and time.
