I contemplate the shared truths of the human story–love, fear, home, family, birth, aging, dying–through the lens of the surreal. In a series of autobiographical self-portraits, I examine identity within the context of family history and the natural world. The work tackles the interwoven complexities of past and present and, specifically, how the past shapes and dictates our perception of our present self and relationships. I encourage introspection and inspire awe through journey-like narratives and fantastical landscapes embedded with unexpected juxtapositions of characters and settings.
Teresa Meier is a Seattle-based multimedia artist that creates surrealist self-portrait photo montages. Her large-format narrative works incorporate themes of home, nature, and the interaction between humans and their environment that often leave the viewer suspended in moments of rising tension. Her fantastical subject matter and use of vibrant, luscious colors result in eye-catching and wonderfilled imagery. Ms. Meier's work has been recognized and exhibited internationally, recently appeared in Lensculture, Don’t Take Pictures, Pro Photo Daily, Communication Arts, and more.
