Amber Sulick is a photographer who has been engaged with the magical properties of the art form since 1997. She is fascinated by photography’s ability to warp and freeze time and is interested in further exploring the manner in which this invention has affected the relationship between time and space. Themes she returns to include a study of the human ability to animate the unliving and an intrigue with the power of the female form.

Although Sulick has actively shown and sold her work in Burlington in the past, she is currently absorbed in studying for her master’s degree in Photographic Preservation and Collections Management through Ryerson at The George Eastman House in Rochester, NY. Her academic work has led her attentions toward the archival soundness of nineteenth century non-silver processes.

While in Rochester, she has founded Sirin Studios, a portrait studio inspired by Victorian aesthetics. Here she has been experimenting with a hundred year old large format studio camera. Amber Sulick’s recent photographic inspiration comes from the work of William Mortensen, Charles Eisenmann and J. Mandel. Sirin Studios exists within the larger atelier The Crow’s Nest, and there Amber is involved in the musical project “The Lindbergh Baby” and a small doll production venture. The artist will be returning to the green mountains of Vermont in the fall of 2008.
