About the Artist

Shannon Ebner is an influential American artist who uniquely positions photography at the intersection of image and language. Her practice meticulously explores the formal and conceptual relationships between written words, typography, and their photographic representation. Ebner often creates images of letterforms found in the urban environment, or constructs her own sculptural alphabets and phrases to be photographed. Through this approach, she examines how meaning is generated, communicated, and miscommunicated in a world saturated with visual information. Her work invites viewers to consider the inherent ambiguities and poetic potential when linguistic structures are re-rendered through the lens of photography.
