Tech Vanitas: Green Instamatic As widely observed, we live in an age filled with devices that make domestic life faster, smarter, easier, and more complicated. The more we yearn to keep current, the more we produce, consume, and discard. Cutting-edge technology is quickly outdated. My Tech Vanitas photographs address the anxiety surrounding technological obsolescence and the environmental impact. @JeanetteMayArt #JeanetteMay #contemporaryphotography #womanartist #contemporaryart #colorphotography #NYartist #BrooklynArtist #stagedphotography #curiousdevices #contemporaryvanitas #vintagetech #techvanitas #stilllifephotography #obsolescence #fixit #obsolete #ewaste #righttorepair #blackberry

Jeanette May is a photo-based artist using a critical, often playful approach to examine visual representation in the form of still lifes, portraiture, and figurative narratives. Her early training as a painter is evident in her careful compositions and rich color palette. Her current photographic projects address the material culture of technology, its planned obsolescence, and possible redemption. May received her MFA in Photography from CalArts and her BFA in Painting from the University of Illinois. She has been awarded grants and fellowships from the NEA Regional Artists’ Projects Fund, Brooklyn Arts Council, Illinois Arts Council, and Ms. Foundation. May’s work is exhibited in galleries and museums internationally, including New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, Milan, Athens, Barcelona, and Shanghai. May lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. @JeanetteMayArt Inspiration comes from historical and contemporary artists: Clara Peeter, Maria Sibylla Merian, Laura Letinsky @lauraletinsky , Bruce Charlesworth, Jo Ann Callis, Allan Sekula, and many more.

Filter Space - Install - try, take time – take time, try One last post, thank you @floatmagazine for letting me share images and spam the feed <3 The installation methodology of how work exists in space is so vital to me. The work I have been working on for the longest length of time accentuates this wholly - making photographs analyzing care and tenderness alongside conviction and labor. I will leave y’all with an install view @filterphoto where the work is up now. If you happen to be in Chicago go see it in person, go visit with the lovely folks that work there and their space. <3 @jessely

shelter (caught & providing) - 16” x 20” x 1.25” - Archival Inkjet Print in Handmade Bloodwood Frame spiders are crafts folk – they make homes, they foster an environment, they build homes. I have started to photograph them deliberately over the past handful of years, notating and working with this craft. @jessely

shelter (showing & glowing) - 16” x 20” x 1.25” - Archival Inkjet Print in Handmade Bloodwood Frame spiders are crafts folk – they make homes, they foster an environment, they build homes.

i found a rose and thought of you (i & ii) - 9” x 12” x 1.25” - Archival Inkjet Prints in Handmade Walnut Frames I firmly believe the act of looking with the intention of photographing and documenting is a large through line in my process. Serendipitously these two photographs, made months apart, on different rolls of 35mm HP5, on different point and shoot cameras, creating an absurdly similar parallel. Almost as if they were meant to be together. @jessely

a glimmer in the garden (what lies behind & beyond) - 24” x 30” x 1.25” Archival Inkjet Prints with embedded mats in handmade Sapele Frame Another infrastructure, the same garden, a new question of composting, death, and new life. @jessely

a glimmer in the garden (holding) - Frame 24” x 30” x 1.25”, Total dimensions 24” x 50” Archival inkjet prints with embedded mat, Eyelet, Dried Roses and Goldenrod, Handmade Sapele Frame I let play, accidents, and leaning into chance act as an element when I can. When failure happens, being readied to adapting and adjusting plays a role for into what can be discovered. A crunched and beat up roll of expired film scans of my garden acts as a backdrop here creating an accidentally ethereal infrastructure to then embed, experiment, and extend the composition. So I am allowing myself to get lost in the garden and notate what is important there. @jessely

interactions (intertwined preserved, embedded) - Cyanotype on muslin, eucalyptus, reclaim material, Tennessee garden weeds, gravel, hammer, painted grid, handmade stretcher bars, walnut frame, archival inkjet prints Under the moniker Support Systems, my genius collaborator Aubrey Theobald (@aubstheebs ) and I notate and make with the intention to observe and practice the actions of leaning on one another, caring for each other, and supporting our practice and communities. We activate photographic, sculptural, installation and writing methods together to foster these elements together, and support each other through collectivism. @jessely

forever vow to support - archival inkjet print with embedded hand-cut matting in handmade walnut frame 12” x 16” I make love letters. Memory and care is interwoven into so many facets of my process. This piece holds weight for me in this way. <3 @jessely
