Synopsis
The Cross Sections works are stunning in their beauty, yet they point to how unfamiliar we are wiith out own ominpresent foundations. We find in these images an energized tension between their visual appeal and the challenge to understand what they reveal. Wagner manages to make the process reassuring as she brings us inside, closer to our core than we may ever have been before. -Glen Helfand

From Library Journal
From the mundane cantaloupe and onion, to the more exotic shark teeth and pomegranates, to the downright elusive dividing cells, various objects give up their interior secrets to Wagner, an award-winning San Francisco-born photographer. Wagner started this latest series during a two-year artist residency at the San Jose Museum of Art and at the Weizmann Institute, a scientific research facility in Israel. To make the images, Wagner used scientific Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology. The cross sections of objects she has captured and arranged are quietly abstract, at once ghostly and dazzling; the black-and-white images seem familiar, like X-rays or views of outer space, but their composition, digital reiteration, and amazing detail are all marks of the artist's choices. The book (a catalog for an exhibit at San Jose Museum of Art) is gorgeous, the images bleed to the edges, and informative essays describe Wagner's earlier work and her progressive study of the relationship between art and science. Wagner's foray into new technologies and ways of seeing is a great example of how art can be forwarded by openness to seemingly unusual possibilities. Recommended for large photography collections.
